THE CAPITOL

 

 

Just as mortal laws are based on Divine law,
so mortal architecture attempts to mirror Divine patterning as it evolves throughout creation, as an on-going "work in progress."

 

 

Some architecture demonstrates the power this line of thought brings to the world as we change and move into the coming Aeon, known as The Aeon of The Child. In due time, the four great Kerubs, as considered during the Piscean Age via the vision of Ezekiel and Trumps X and XXI (The Wheel and The Universe, respectively), will reclaim their cherub countenance. The Lunar Template will resurface and all the heavenly cherubs will surround the Virgin, Queen of The Angels, for the duration of the Millennium.

Old Supreme Court Chamber.htm

November 1806
Benjamin Henry Latrobe began his architectural reconstruction of the Old Supreme Court Chamber, going into action with an initial appropriation of $25,000. His inspiration was perhaps drawn from an earlier concept he employed in his Hammerwood Park blueprints. Latrobe designed a modern work of art utilizing skeletal source data that had defined the backbone of Delos Temples. The island, temples and oracles, dedicated to The Twin Lights (Apollo and Diana) were sacrosanct in ancient cultures. Even invading Persian generals withheld their attack, leading to a suspicion the island may have actually been a sanctuary of weather cycle deities (Jupiter, Apollo, Diana, and by extension Leto.)

 

The Capitol project Latrobe shouldered was enormous. Within the Temple of Poseidon Latrobe found an inspirational source for a central remodeling of pillars and interior architecture of the north wing. The sandstone Doric columns, strongest supporting piers from classical Greece, mirror ‘the great earthshaker’ archetype - Poseidon as an ancient god of creation. Mythology that originally sprang from the sea-faring races later gave way to a sky oriented culture, however Poseidon retained many characteristics that endured due to his prior standing in the temple network. Similarly, the unprecedented template used for the vaulted ceiling may be viewed as a section of the great Atlantean plan, sought during these many centuries under the constant ocean waves.

 

Fred and Suzy Maroon are the husband and wife team responsible for an excellent in-and-about-town historical masterpiece on the nation's capitol. In a taped C-Span interview (December 1993) the Maroons discuss preeminent Washington landmarks and their co-created book, THE CAPITOL. The C-Span television channel broadcasts daily action in Washington, D. C., with in-depth coverage as well as behind-the-scenes features and a look at our lawmakers at work each day Congress is in session.

Fred Maroon first mastered his architectural formats as a student in Washington during the 1940's. Over time, photography evolved from a hobby into a more serious pursuit as Maroon captured Washington's spirit with his candid lens. See the article Fred J. Maroon Recording an Era, Launching a Career. Some of these carefully selected angles of the city are based on his first impression of Washington, at a time when everyone traveled by train. These images are seen today through the same arches and windows that first framed many American landmarks at the time Maroon attended school. The lighting is extaordinary and his attention to detail brings the reader into the world of Washington's unique texture, rhythm, and atmosphere of the capitol.

Interview

Fred Maroon

In studying architecture one learns about art fundamentals that are very useful as a photographer. You learn about lighting, because an architect has to consider that. You learn about textures, proportions, and perspectives. All of that I utilize when I do architecture. And I believe that early training made me sensitive to the personality of a building. All buildings have personalities, just like our faces change as human beings, the face of a building changes depending on the lighting in the time of day and year.

C-CPAN

Let me follow up and ask Susan Maroon about the personalities involved here in the history of this building. What personality did you find, as the writer, that this building has? Is it reflective of certain people who were involved in it; is it reflective of a political viewpoint; is it reflective of the times?

Suzy Maroon

It certainly reflects certain people – of course Jefferson, as we already said; and the fact that Grimedi was allowed to paint as much as he did in the building, is a direct reflection of one man, Montgomery Meigs, who against much criticism, sponsored Grimedi [his specialty had been the many frescos he did in Europe] and saw to it he was given free reign to paint and paint and paint.[for 25 yers] That’s a treasure today, but without his patron there, that never would have happened.
