The hall, also known as the Old Hall of the House, is a large, two-story, semicircular room with a second story gallery along the curved perimeter. It is located immediately south of the Rotunda. It was the meeting place of the U.S. House of Representatives for nearly 50 years (1807–1857). After a few years of disuse, in 1864, it was repurposed as a statuary hall. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Old_Senate_and_Supreme_Court_Chambers">Old Senate and Supreme Court Chambers</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=United_States_Capitol&action=edit&section=16" title="Edit section: Old Senate and Supreme Court Chambers"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Old_Senate_Chamber" title="Old Senate Chamber">Old Senate Chamber</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Flickr_-_USCapitol_-_Old_Senate_Chamber_(1).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9f/Flickr_-_USCapitol_-_Old_Senate_Chamber_%281%29.jpg/220px-Flickr_-_USCapitol_-_Old_Senate_Chamber_%281%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="146" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9f/Flickr_-_USCapitol_-_Old_Senate_Chamber_%281%29.jpg/330px-Flickr_-_USCapitol_-_Old_Senate_Chamber_%281%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9f/Flickr_-_USCapitol_-_Old_Senate_Chamber_%281%29.jpg/440px-Flickr_-_USCapitol_-_Old_Senate_Chamber_%281%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3000" data-file-height="1996" /></a><figcaption>The <a href="/wiki/Old_Senate_Chamber" title="Old Senate Chamber">Old Senate Chamber</a> in 2012</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:OldSupremeCourt.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c2/OldSupremeCourt.jpg/220px-OldSupremeCourt.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="174" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c2/OldSupremeCourt.jpg/330px-OldSupremeCourt.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c2/OldSupremeCourt.jpg/440px-OldSupremeCourt.jpg 2x" data-file-width="520" data-file-height="411" /></a><figcaption>The <a href="/wiki/Old_Supreme_Court_Chamber" title="Old Supreme Court Chamber">Old Supreme Court Chamber</a> in 2007</figcaption></figure> <p>The <a href="/wiki/Old_Senate_Chamber" title="Old Senate Chamber">Old Senate Chamber</a> is a room in the United States Capitol that was the legislative chamber of the United States Senate from 1810 to 1859, and served as the Supreme Court chamber from 1860 until 1935. </p><p>This room was originally the lower half of the <a href="/wiki/Old_Senate_Chamber" title="Old Senate Chamber">Old Senate Chamber</a> from 1800 to 1806.

The current grounds were designed by noted American <a href="/wiki/Landscape_architect" title="Landscape architect">landscape architect</a> <a href="/wiki/Frederick_Law_Olmsted" title="Frederick Law Olmsted">Frederick Law Olmsted</a>, who planned the expansion and landscaping performed from 1874 to 1892. In 1875, as one of his first recommendations, Olmsted proposed the construction of the <a href="/wiki/Marble" title="Marble">marble</a> <a href="/wiki/Terrace_garden" title="Terrace garden">terraces</a> on the north, west, and south sides of the building creating an enveloping base. This addressed issues with the placement of the original structure; it had been built too far westwards on the crest of the hill and gave the appearance as if the building might slide into the marshy terrain below. </p><p>Olmsted also designed the Summerhouse, the open-air brick building that sits just north of the Capitol. Three <a href="/wiki/Arch" title="Arch">arches</a> open into the <a href="/wiki/Hexagon" title="Hexagon">hexagonal</a> structure, which encloses a fountain and twenty-two brick chairs. A fourth wall holds a small window which looks onto an artificial <a href="/wiki/Grotto" title="Grotto">grotto</a>. Built between 1879 and 1881, the Summerhouse was intended to answer complaints that visitors to the Capitol had no place to sit and no place to obtain water for their horses and themselves. Modern <a href="/wiki/Drinking_fountain" title="Drinking fountain">drinking fountains</a> have since replaced Olmsted's fountain for the latter purpose.
