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.

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.
