Tentang
Fakta cepat: Great Hall adalah salah satu ruang dalam ruangan terbesar di Washington, menjulang setinggi 159 kaki dengan delapan kolom Korintus raksasa, masing-masing setinggi 75 kaki dan dicat dengan rona terakota yang hangat. Lebih dari 1.200 ton besi dan bata digunakan untuk membangun atrium besar ini, yang telah menjadi tuan rumah pesta pelantikan bagi setiap presiden Amerika Serikat sejak Grover Cleveland.
Sorotan: Masuklah ke Great Hall dan lihat ke atas: kolom interior besar di dalamnya berlubang, dibangun sebagai rekayasa cerdas untuk menghemat berat sambil tetap menopang atap dengan pencahayaan langit seluas 1,5 hektare. Selama Perang Saudara, bangunan yang belum selesai ini berfungsi sebagai rumah sakit darurat dan kemudian sebagai barak, dengan para prajurit mengukir nama mereka di bata yang masih dapat Anda lihat hingga hari ini.
Tips orang dalam
- Grab a spot on one of the benches in the Great Hall center and look straight up to see the full scale of the 159-foot skylight without craning your neck.
- The gift shop stocks surprisingly unique architecture-themed souvenirs like building block sets and blueprint posters that make great gifts.
- Head to the mezzanine level for a quieter vantage point overlooking the main hall, especially pretty when afternoon light pours through the windows.
- Check the calendar before visiting: the building occasionally hosts free design workshops and family building activities on weekends.
