The United States Supreme Court Building is the seat of the Supreme Court of the United States, standing at 1 First Street Northeast in Washington, D.C., one block east of the Capitol. It was designed by architect Cass Gilbert in the Neoclassical style and completed in 1935 after three years of construction. The four story structure rises 92 feet and presents public facades in Vermont marble, styled after a Greek temple to project what its designers called the inherent authority of law. Inside, the building houses the courtroom, the justices' conference room and chambers, along with law libraries and administrative offices; the courtroom itself is lined with Spanish ivory vein marble and ringed by twenty four columns of Italian marble from Siena. Its bronze entrance doors, weighing roughly thirteen tons apiece, are among its most recognized features.
