Description
A black and white photo of the front facade of the Supreme Court, on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC.
Designed by architect Cass Gilbert, and completed in 1935, the Supreme Court building drew upon the classical Roman temple form to strike a balance between classical grandeur and quiet dignity, appropriate for the nation's highest court. Unlike the Library of Congress' Thomas Jefferson building next door, which followed the ornate the Beaux Arts style, the Supreme Court was designed in a quieter, more reserved style now termed neoclassical revival.
