About 4,600 individuals were temporarily interred in the vault, including three U.S. Presidents, First Lady Dolley Madison, and sixteen congressmen who died while serving in office.〔Johnson and Johnson, pp. 67, 139〕〔A partial list of occupants of the vault is available on the lower part of the page at ("Site - Public Vault" ), published by the Association for the Preservation of the Historic Congressional Cemetery〕 As a contributing structure to the cemetery, the vault was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 23, 1969 and a National Historic Landmark in 2011. ==Construction== Congress approved an expenditure of $1,000 on July 14, 1832 to build "a substantial brick or stone vault in the Washington Parish Burial Ground, for the temporary interment of members of Congress." Additional appropriations of $1,600 on March 2, 1833 and $194 on June 30, 1834 were approved to complete the vault. These two bills included the name "Public Vault" and allowed the use by members of the public. Use by the government was allowed without further payment, and members of the public were to be charged $5.00 per temporary use. The sexton of Christ Church was to be given $1.50 of this sum for his services, with the remainder given to the vestry of Christ Church, which owns the burial ground, "to be expended in the improvement of the grounds and in keeping the same in order."〔Johnson and Johnson, pp. 37-38〕 A classical marble facade with baroque scrolls decorate the partially subterranean vault. Double wrought iron doors have the words “PUBLIC VAULT” displayed by means of vent holes.〔NHL Nomination, p.9〕 The vault is constructed of Aquia Creek sandstone, which was also used to construct many important early structures in Washington, including the White House, the Capitol, and the Latrobe cenotaphs in the cemetery.〔Johnson and Johnson, p. 347〕 The vault does not have any niches or shelves to hold coffins, rather the coffins were placed on the floor and stacked if necessary.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Public Vault at the Congressional Cemetery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
