Description: WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Supreme Court - ARCHITECTURE: The Supreme Court Building houses the Supreme Court of the United States. Also referred to as "the Marble Palace", the building serves as the official residence and workplace of the Chief Justice of the United States and the eight Associate Justices of the Supreme Court. It is located at 1 First Street in Northeast Washington, D.C., in the block immediately east of the United States Capitol and within a mile of the Library of Congress. The building is managed by the Architect of the Capitol. On May 4, 1987, the Supreme Court Building was designated a National Historic Landmark. The proposal for a separate building for the Supreme Court was suggested in 1912 by President William Howard Taft, who became Chief Justice in 1921. In 1929, Taft successfully argued for the creation of the new building, but did not live to see it built. Physical construction began in 1932 and was officially completed in 1935 under the guidance of Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, Taft's successor. The building was designed by architect Cass Gilbert, a friend of Taft. This White Border Era (1951-30) is in good condition. Colourchrome. No. 135672. The Washington News Company. Washington, D.C.
