Did you know?
The US Capitol is the focal point of DC's street system. From it, the city extends into four quadrants - NW, NE, SE and SW. The quadrant designation indicates the location in relation to the Capitol. The twin-shell dome atop the Capitol hovers 285 feet above the ground and weighs 9 million pounds! Depending on the temperature outside, the dome contracts up to 4 inches a day. And no, that's not Pocahontas perched on top. It's a 19-foot-tall bronze statue called "Freedom."
