In 1814 the U.S. Capitol building was burned by the British, destroying what Thomas Jefferson had called "the handsomest room in the world": the Hall of Representatives, which had been completed a few years earlier by architect Benjamin Latrobe. Although no visual record exists of Latrobe's neoclassical masterpiece, architect and illustrator Richard Chenoweth has brought it to life, digitally recreating the Hall based on Latrobe's original construction documents. Join Chenoweth for a virtual tour of the pre-1814 Capitoldown to the furniture, lighting schemes and carpet patternsbased on facts, historical sources and letters.
A reception with the speaker follows the lecture.
