§161. Title of Superintendent of Capitol Building and Grounds changed to Architect of Capitol
The title of “Superintendent of the Capitol Building and Grounds” is changed to “Architect of the Capitol.”
(Feb. 14, 1902, ch. 17, 32 Stat. 20; Mar. 3, 1921, ch. 124, 41 Stat. 1291.)
CodificationThe title of Architect of the Capitol was changed to Superintendent of the Capitol Building and Grounds, by act Feb. 14, 1902, popularly known as the “Urgent Deficiency Appropriation Act for 1902”.
Act Mar. 3, 1921, restored the original title, and is based on the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial Appropriation Act Mar. 3, 1921, fiscal year 1922.
Prior ProvisionsAct May 2, 1828, ch. 45, §1, 4 Stat. 266, abolished office of Architect of the Capitol. The duties of that office were transferred to Commissioner of Public Buildings and Grounds, appointed by President under act April 29, 1816, ch. 150, §2, 3 Stat. 324, to succeed a previously existing board of three commissioners of Public Buildings and Grounds.
Act Mar. 3, 1829, ch. 151, §2, 4 Stat. 363, authorized President to continue office of Architect of the Capitol long enough to complete work in progress.
Act Sept. 30, 1850, ch. 90, §1, 9 Stat. 538, made appropriation for “the extension of the Capitol” according to the plan as might be approved by the President, to be expended under his direction, “by such architect as he may appoint to execute the same.” Subsequent acts frequently referred to the Architect of the Capitol or to the Architect of the Capitol Extension.
Act Mar. 2, 1867, ch. 167, §2, 14 Stat. 466, abolished office of Commissioner of Public Buildings and Grounds referred to in section 162 of this title, and transferred the duties of that office to the Chief of Engineers of the Army.
Act Aug. 15, 1876, ch. 287, §1, 19 Stat. 147, transferred duties relative to the Capitol theretofore performed by Commissioner of Public Buildings and Grounds to Architect of the Capitol.
