Capitol Expansion Plans Add Wing to East Front
The Capitol, grown through three expansion phases, plans a new east front wing to ease congestion and balance with the Senate and home wings. Washington’s 1792 site selection and the race to design the Capitol featured Dr Thornton's domed plan, early delays, War of 1812 destruction, and later wings by Mills and Walter. The project continues as it nears a new addition after seventy years.
