Summary

[edit]
Description

The Architect of the Capitol Stephen Ayers greeting His Holiness Pope Francis.

Pope Francis visited the U.S. Capitol on September 24, 2015, and became the first Pope to address a joint meeting of United States Congress. The Pontiff then addressed the crowds assembled along the West Front.

Multiple jurisdictions within the Architect of the Capitol (AOC) worked together to prepare for His Holiness' historic arrival at the Capitol, treating it much like a rehearsal for the next inauguration. The AOC teams built a platform for the Pontiff to stand on so the crowds below could see him and also constructed a safety bannister that seamlessly matched the ornate railing of the Speaker's balcony.
