Old Capitol Prison by StreetsofWashington Via Flickr: Stereoview from 1866 of the Old Brick Capitol. The building served as temporary U.S. Capitol from 1815 to 1819. During the Civil War, it was used as a prison. Rose Greenhow, the notorious Confederate spy, was held here before being exiled to the South. The building was later greatly modified and was razed in 1929. The site is now occupied by the Supreme Court building.
