Library of Congress, Entrance Pavilion Redwoods free of any signs ofThe Library of Congress holds the title of oldest federal cultural institution in the US. Though originally proposed by James Madison in 1783, it wasn't until 1800 when the library was established by John Adams with the signing of an act of Congress. The library has undergone countless changes, renovations, and additions over the years, but this vintage photograph shows the front entrance as it was in 1900. Thanks to our team's digital restoration
