National Capitol Columns

The National Capitol Columns is a monument in Washington's National Arboretum. It is an arrangement of twenty-two Corinthian columns, originally from the United States Capitol, placed amid of open meadow, known as the Ellipse Meadow.
==Original use==
The columns were quarried from sandstone near Aquia Creek in Virginia and transported to Washington on a barge. Old identification marks from the quarry are still visible on some of the stones.〔
They were originally built as part of the east portico of the Capitol in 1828, long before the familiar Capitol dome was completed. However, when the dome was completed in 1866 it appeared as if it was not adequately supported by the columns, because the iron dome was significantly larger than the dome that the designer envisioned. In order to correct this visual illusion, an addition to the east side of the Capitol was constructed in 1958 and the columns were removed.〔
