Washington's Tomb is an empty burial chamber two stories directly below the Rotunda of the United States Capitol building in Washington, DC. It was included in the original design of the building by William Thornton and intended to entomb the body of George Washington, the first President of the United States. The original design of the rotunda, and the Crypt beneath it, included a central glass floor allowing the public to view Washington's Tomb two floors below, but this was never implemented.

  • Le tombeau de Washington est une chambre funéraire vide à deux étages située juste en dessous de la rotonde du Capitole des États-Unis à Washington, D.C. Il a été inclus dans la conception originale du bâtiment par William Thornton et destiné à enterrer le corps de George Washington, le premier président des États-Unis. La conception originale de la rotonde et de la crypte en dessous comprenait un sol en verre central permettant au public de voir la tombe de Washington deux étages plus bas, mais cela n'a jamais été mis en œuvre. À la mort de Washington en 1799, le Capitole était encore en construction. Les deux chambres du Congrès ont adopté une résolution demandant que Washington soit enterré au Capitole une fois terminé. Martha Washington a accepté le plan malgré la présence dans la volonté de son mari d'une disposition selon laquelle il serait enterré à Mount Vernon. Cependant, la résolution d'origine n'a jamais été réalisée en raison de différends sur la conception et le coût spécifiques de la tombe et le corps a été placé dans une tombe temporaire à Mount Vernon. Le Congrès a de nouveau tenté de résoudre ces problèmes en 1800, 1816, 1824 et 1829, lorsque l'architecte du Capitole a préparé des plans pour la tombe en prévision du centenaire de la naissance de Washington. Le Congrès a renouvelé son appel à transférer le corps au Capitole en 1830, après une (en) dans laquelle le tombeau de Mount Vernon a été vandalisé et plusieurs des cadavres de parents de Washington profanés en 1830, mais le propriétaire du cimetière de l'époque, John Washington, a plutôt décidé de construire une nouvelle tombe plus sécurisée sur le site.

  • Washington's Tomb is an empty burial chamber two stories directly below the Rotunda of the United States Capitol building in Washington, DC. It was included in the original design of the building by William Thornton and intended to entomb the body of George Washington, the first President of the United States. The original design of the rotunda, and the Crypt beneath it, included a central glass floor allowing the public to view Washington's Tomb two floors below, but this was never implemented. When Washington died in 1799, the Capitol was still under construction. Both houses of Congress passed a resolution calling for Washington to be entombed in the Capitol upon its completion. His wife, Martha Washington, agreed to the plan despite the presence in her husband's will of a provision that he be buried at Mount Vernon. However, the original resolution was never carried out due to disputes over the specific design and cost of the tomb and the body was placed in a temporary tomb at Mount Vernon. Congress again attempted to resolve these issues in 1800, 1816, 1824, and 1829, when the Architect of the Capitol prepared plans for the tomb in anticipation of the approaching centennial of Washington's birth. Congress renewed its call to transfer the body to the Capitol in 1830, after an attempt to steal Washington's head in which the Mount Vernon tomb was vandalized and several of Washington's relatives' corpses desecrated in 1830. The current owner of the property, John Washington, decided to build a new, more secure tomb on the site instead. Formerly, the Lincoln Catafalque was stored and exhibited in the tomb. It is kept, at present, in a specially constructed display area in the Exhibition Hall of the Capitol Visitor Center. (en)
