The Supreme Court Building houses the Supreme Court of the United States, the highest court in the federal judiciary of the United States. The building serves as the official 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. It is one block immediately east of the United States Capitol and north 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. Designed in the neoclassical style, 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. The United States Capitol is located in Washington, D.C., which is not a county. In 1871, Congress passed the Organic Act, which abolished Washington County and created a territorial government for the District of Columbia. This made the city of Washington legally indistinguishable from the District of Columbia. The Capitol is located on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., at the eastern end of the National Mall on a plateau 88 feet above the Potomac River. The Capitol is the meeting place of the U.S. Congress, the nation's legislature, and is a symbol of the American people and government. It's also a working office building and a popular destination for visitors. The Capitol is part of a complex of 20 buildings, grounds, and facilities used by the U.S. Congress and federal courts. The Architect of the Capitol manages and supervises the complex.
