Completed in 1861, this columned Greek revival-style building and its surroundings of Capitol Square is considered to be one of the most significant architectural accomplishments of the early republic. It features exquisite decor with marble floors, statues and paintings. The magnificent central staircase is offset by murals and a breathtaking stained-glass skylight in the Atrium, and the Map Room and Salmon P. Chase Education Center attract thousands of visitors each year.

Walk-in tours: Mon-Fri 10am, 11am, noon, 1pm, 2pm, 3pm; Sat-Sun noon, 1pm, 2pm, 3pm
