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