Congressional Deskbook
The Practical and Comprehensive Guide to Congress, Sixth Edition

1. The Cannon House Office Building Rotunda
The Cannon rotunda lies just inside the Cannon House Office Building's main entrance.

2. The Capitol Crypt
The large circular area on the first floor of the Capitol is called the Crypt. The 40 Doric columns of brown stone surmounted by groined sandstone arches support the floor of the Rotunda. This center section of the building was completed in 1827 under the direction of the third Architect of the Capitol, Charles Bulfinch. The star in the center of the floor denotes the point from which the streets in Washington are laid out and numbered.

3. Minton Tile Floor in a Capitol Office
The original encaustic tiles in the Capitol extensions were manufactured at Stoke-upon-Trent in Staffordshire, England, by Minton, Hollins and Company. http://www.aoc.gov/cc/capitol/minton_1.cfm

4. The Cannon House Office Building Caucus Room
The Caucus Room in the Cannon House Office Building is an excellent example of the Beaux Arts style of architectural design. Grand, well ordered, and richly detailed, the room provides a dignified environment in which important political meetings and social functions are held. It is the oldest and one of the largest assembly rooms built for the House of Representatives outside the Capitol. Before the construction of the Cannon House Office Building, caucuses and other meetings took place in cramped committee rooms in the Capitol.

7. The North Brumidi Corridor Viewed from the West

The Brumidi Corridors
The vaulted, ornately decorated corridors on the first floor of the Senate wing in the United States Capitol are called the idi Corridors because, although assistants and other artists are responsible for many of the details, the design of the murals and the major elements are by Constantino Brumidi.
