The founders understood that architecture was part of statecraft. A capitol dome, uniting individuals below a single canopy, expresses the idea of collective self-government. With its visual balance and allegorical statues, a courthouse colonnade declares that justice rests on principles higher than the passions of the moment.
American veterans deserve to be uplifted by the buildings surrounding them when they visit the nation's capital. So do ordinary citizens and visitors from other nations. Beauty should not be reserved for wealthy enclaves or European postcards. It should exist where laws are made, where children learn, where justice is administered and where communities gather.
Architecture matters because people matter. Americans still believe in distinction, continuity and democratic self-government. The nation's public buildings should reflect those ideals.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump - From Greg Wischer at the United States Department of the Interior:
“Another fountain has been fixed, beautified, and turned on — The Rawlins Park fountain!
This fountain was defunct for nearly a decade, and the fountain’s plumbing, electrical, mechanical systems all needed repairs.
Like other parks with fountains, the park with this fountain was also beautified. The park features a magnolia-lined flagstone plaza with an octagonal bubbling fountain flanked by two 116-foot-long reflecting pools.
The bronze statue of Union General John Aaron Rawlins—who was the closest advisor to Ulysses S. Grant during the Civil War and later served as Secretary of War under President Grant—was cleaned and waxed, too. The statue was cast from captured Confederate cannons and installed in 1874.”
