West of the Wheatfield on the grounds of the Rose Farm, weathering a hailstorm of shot, shell, and canister, Confederate Brigadier General Joseph Kershaw's troops forced the Federals from their positions occupying the grounds just hours earlier. Referring to the Rose Farm, General Kershaw said, "In my center front was a stone house, and to the left of it a stone barn, both about 500 yards from our line, and on a line with the crest of the orchard hill. Along the front of the orchard, and on the face looking toward the stone house, the enemy's infantry was posted. General Kershaw's South Carolinians took this ground despite the obstacles the General later described. He said, "...examining the position of the enemy, I found him to be in superior force in the orchard, supported by artillery."

Tried my Infrared filter on this shot,I like the result.

Sorry the photos did not load the first time

A fine example of 19th-century neoclassical architecture, the U.S. Capitol combines function with aesthetics. Its designs derived from ancient Greece and Rome evoke the ideals that guided the nation's founders as they framed their new republic. As the building was expanded from its original design, harmony with the existing portions was carefully maintained.

Today, the U.S. Capitol Building covers a ground area of 175,170 square feet, or about 4 acres, and has a floor area of approximately 16-1/2 acres. Its length, from north to south, is 751 feet 4 inches; its greatest width, including approaches, is 350 feet. Its height above the base line on the east front to the top of the Statue of Freedom is 288 feet; from the basement floor to the top of the dome is an ascent of 365 steps. The building contains approximately 540 rooms and has 658 windows (108 in the dome alone) and approximately 850 doorways.
