The west front of the US Capitol building faces away from the National Mall and toward the Library of Congress and the Supreme Court. It's also the side typically used for arrivals of visiting guests.

Construction on this building was begun when George Washington, in full Freemason regalia, laid the cornerstone way back in 1793. It was partially burned by British/Canadian forces during the war of 1812, but it's looking pretty good these days.
