Henry Bacon’s Proposed Supreme Court Building


Although the Supreme Court did not get a home of its own until it moved into its current building in 1935, proposals to relocate the Court out of the U.S. Capitol date to at least the 1870s. When former president William Howard Taft became Chief Justice in 1921, he resolved to make a separate Court building a reality. Taft consulted with architect Henry Bacon, best known for the Lincoln Memorial, who made at least two preliminary drawings before his death in February 1924. Cass Gilbert, the building’s eventual architect, based his initial plans for the Supreme Court Building on Bacon’s plans.

Since at least 1879, city planners had located a future Supreme Court building on the lot across from the Senate wing of the U.S. Capitol. With that in mind, Bacon intended in his circa 1923 “Study for a Public Building [Supreme Court Building]” that the height of the columns match those of the U.S. Capitol across the street.

“Main Floor Plan [for a Supreme Court Building],” circa 1923. Bacon is thought to have based his plans on French architect Henri Labrouste’s plans for a Cour de Cassation, for which he won the Prix de Rome for architecture at the École des Beaux-Arts in 1824.
