EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic image captures a pivotal moment in American history as George Washington, the first President of the United States, presides over the planning of the laying of the cornerstone for the Capitol Building in September 1793. The scene takes place within the confines of Washington's Masonic Lodge, St. John's Lodge No. 1, located in Alexandria, Virginia. Washington, a known Freemason, is seen seated at the altar, surrounded by fellow members of the society. The solemn occasion marks the beginning of the construction of the Capitol Building, an essential symbol of American democracy and the seat of the legislative branch of the federal government. The image, which dates back to 18th century America, offers a unique glimpse into the intersection of politics, history, and social groups. Washington's leadership and commitment to the Freemasonry principles of brotherhood, charity, and morality are on full display as he presides over the planning process. The Capitol Building, completed in 1800, stands as a testament to Washington's vision and the collective efforts of the Freemasons and the American people. The image serves as a reminder of the influential role that social societies, such as the Freemasons, played in shaping the early history of the United States. This photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable addition to any collection of American history, Freemasonry, or social history. Its rich details and historical significance make it an essential piece for scholars, educators, and enthusiasts alike.
