I also learned, from an online power point presentation, that architecture and building are different...........the architect makes the blueprint..........some other bozo builds the thing......



As with the DC street map...........there were several architects involved...........



The original design by Thornton was later modified by famous British-American architects Benjamin Henry Latrobe, Sr. and then Charles Bulfinch.^[20] The current cast-iron dome and the House's new southern extension andSenate new northern wing were designed by Thomas U. Walter and August Schoenborn, a German immigrant, in the 1850s,^[21] and were completed under the supervision of Edward Clark.^[22]
