Definición

  • The post of architect of the Capitol has existed as a permanent position since 1876, when Congress transferred to the architect the functions performed previously by the commissioner for public buildings and grounds. However, beginning with William Thornton in 1793, nine presidential appointees have had the architect’s responsibility for construction and maintenance of the Capitol.
