Description
An account of the resource
Popularly known as "the Castle," the Smithsonian Institution's original building opened in 1855 and was the first museum on the Mall. <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/74">James Renwick Jr </a>designed the building in a Gothic Revival style with red sandstone from Seneca Creek, Maryland. The Castle housed collections, laboratories, and <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/456">the family of the first Secretary</a>. By 1881, the Smithsonian's collections and staff outgrew the Castle and expanded to a <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/56">second building next door</a>. Today, the Smithsonian Visitors' Center and founder <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/68">James Smithson</a>'s crypt can be found inside the Castle.
