Two schemes for Capitol improvement proposed by Carrere Hastings outline extending the east front in white marble, refacing sandstone areas, replacing west terrace steps, and adding sculptural work in the House pediment.

Scheme B offers more space but is deemed less picturesque and is recommended for rejection.
