Many places like the United States have taken the knowledge of the way that the Romans and the Greek built buildings and have use it to make buildings of their own. A building that shows this knowledge is the United States capital. This building is the home of the U.S congress, and the seat of the legislative branch. The United States Capital building is in Washington, DC.             This building is a neoclassical architectural style that the United States use advantage of for their building.
