George Hadfield (1763 – 6 February 1826〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Interments in the Congressional Cemetery ) 〕) was born in Livorno, Italy of English parents, who were hotel-keepers. He studied at the Royal Academy, and worked with James Wyatt for six years before emigrating to the United States. He was also the brother of Maria Cosway, a famous painter who is best noted for her alleged affair with Thomas Jefferson, when he was the Ambassador to France between 1785–1789. He was appointed superintendent of the United States Capitol's construction on 15 October 1795, and continued in that position until June 1798, resigning after an argument with William Thornton.〔Tatman.〕〔Bryan, pp 314–315, states that it was 28 May 1798, and that Hadfield said he had not been paid for plans for the state and war office buildings.〕 He is credited with part of the design of the original Capitol building such as the north wing,〔Dunlap, page 336.〕〔Bryan, pages 315–318. Bryan gives some of the background, noting that until Hadfield's discharge, all of the detailed working drawings were done by Hallett or Hadfield, and that Thornton started to produce detailed drawings after this point after failing to obtain them from Hallett.〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Temple of Justice and Faith: The Capitol's East and West Porticoes and Dome ) Two of the pictures here are said to be based on Hadfield's designs.〕 but little of the related papers remain.
