Supreme Court Building Description
The Supreme Court Building, the highest court in the land, is housed in a white marble building facing the Capitol. The first session of the Supreme Court was convened on February 1, 1790 but the present location, designed by Cass Gilbert, was not built until 1935. The justice sculptures into the foundation are modeled on the architect, his friends and historical figures like Confucius, Solon and Moses.
