On February 13 1815 President Madison and Congress passed legislation to borrow $500,000 to repair the public buildings including the Capitol "on their present sites in the city of Washington". Benjamin Latrobe architect of the Capitol who took over for William Thornton in 1803 was rehired to repair the building on April 18 1815. He immediately requested 60,000 feet of boards 500 tons of stone 1,000 barrels of lime and brick. With the $500,000 borrowed from Washington banks, Latrobe was able to rebuild the two wings and the central dome before being fired in 1818 for being difficult. Charles Bulfinch took over and officially completed the renovations by 1826. Bulfinch modified Latrobe's design by increasing the height of the Capitol dome to match the diameter of 86 ft With the reconstruction of the public buildings in Washington the value of land in the area increased dramatically paving the way for the expansion of the city that developed in the years leading up to the American Civil War. !
