The Supreme Court of
the United States:
A Brief Chronicle
Did You
Know?
The U.S. Supreme Court wasn’t
given its own building until 1935!
Did You
Know?
Before that, the Supreme Court
met in the US Capitol Building.
Until…
William Howard Taft was
appointed Chief Justice of
the United States and
began pushing the idea of
moving the Supreme
Court into its own building.
In 1928
Congress responded to
Taft’s initiative by creating
the United States Supreme
Court Building
Commission.
In 1929
Famous New York architect,
Cass Gilbert, was formally
hired by the commission to
design the Supreme Court
building.
The design was
projected to cost
$9,740,000 to build.
President Herbert Hoover
laid the building’s
cornerstone and
construction began.
In 1932
In 1935
The building was completed at
a final cost of $9,395,566.
(4% less than the projected cost)
Unfortunately, both Taft and Gilbert
died before the building’s
completion.
