Caption: Old Capitol Prison
Additional Description: was initially a Washington D. C. boarding house. Located at the corner of First and A Streets, NE, it had served as the nation's capitol building (hence the name) after British troops sacked the city during the War of 1812. John Quincy Adams was sworn in as the nation's president there and John C. Calhoun had lived and died there. It became a holding facility for temporary prisoners during the Civil War. The U.S. Supreme Court sits on the site today.Close-up of stereogram on marker
