Washington's Tomb
Washington's Tomb is an empty burial chamber two stories directly below the rotunda of the United States Capitol building in Washington, D.C. It was included in the original design of the building by William Thornton and intended to entomb the body of George Washington, who was instead buried at Mount Vernon. 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 on December 14, 1799, the Capitol was still under construction and nearing completion of its north wing for the Senate chamber only in its first phase.
