The House of Representatives meets for the first time in its new chamber in the United States Capitol

The U.S. House of Representatives meets for the first time in its new chamber in the Capitol. With a few changes, such as the replacement of individual members desks with benches in 1913 and a remodeling in 1951, this will remain the home of the House to the present day. (By John Osborne)
