It is among the most symbolically important buildings in the nation. In 1792 Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson and President George Washington proposed a design competition to solicit designs for the Capitol. The prize was to be $500 and a city slot. Unfortunately none of the plans submitted within the time frame of the competition were satisfactory and such none were chosen. A late entry made by William Thornton, an amateur architect was praised by both Thomas Jefferson and President Washington who was enamored with its "Grandeur, Simplicity, and Beauty".
