STATUARY HALL in Postcards 4

Several times in the 1960’s, I got to go to our Capitol. The first time it was on my honeymoon to Paul. The second was to see it all with George and some of my best friends. No, I didn’t make it to every museum. I tried. But I met friends at the museums, at the Union Train station for lunch, and the Capitol building with OD blogger ThomaS.

Yes, the restaurant is good, the building monumental, but the tour we were on didn’t take us to the galleries. It did take us to the Old House Chambers which now house the state sculptures. There are plaques on the floor that show where our Representatives desks once sat. Around the outer walls are displayed sculptures, one from each state, of an important person in the history of that state.

Many of us have not been to this space. I didn’t go until 2012. The rioters crowded through in 2021 as if they lived there. I thought I’d show you a view of it as I saw it those few years ago.

Here’s ThomaS in his red vest.

Great pics. Didn't get inside the Capital but T and I had a selfie with the building in the background on our 2017 visit there.

After all this fuss is over, do go back and go through the Smithsonian museums.

Absolutely beautiful architecture. The insurrectionists should all get invoices for the cost of damage repair and cleanup.
