A Rare Picture of the US Capitol Building from the 1920s

Check out this rare photo of the US Capitol Building from the 1920s! Thanks to GoDCer Mollie for sending this in. It's an amazing look at the Capitol during that time.

The Hall was named for Thomas Copley, S.J. (ca. 1595-1652). Among its many external decorations is a large Latin inscription on its middle gable which reads: 'Moribus Antiquis Res Stat Loyolaea Virisque.' This has been translated as: 'Loyola’s Fortune Still May Hope To Thrive, If Men and Mold Like Those of Old Survive.' The south gable bears the family crest of St. Ignatius Loyola who founded the Society of Jesus, the lily of the seal of the University of Paris where he was educated, and the seal of the Society of Jesus.

Thanks to GoDCer Mollie for sending this in. It looks like a photo from sometime in the 1920s.
