Tape 1 runs 37:02  The Freemasonic Connections of the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. An illustrated lecture by professor James Stevens Curl, De Montfort University. He "proves" that Masonic influence is everywhere in the Capitol Building with the premise that the U.S. Capitol was designed to represent a Masonic Lodge. Curl says the House Chamber symbolizes the Entered Apprentice Degree, the Senate Chamber represents the Fellowcraft Degree, and the Rotunda was designed to be the physical representation of the Master Mason's Degree. Curl is not a Mason, and he caused a stir amongst the academics that were in attendance at the conference. Good slides illustrate what became a controversial concept.

Watch the first TV release of these three non-Masons as they describe the Masonic influence in the early United States and in the design and construction of the United States Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. Professor Curl sparked a lively difference of opinions at a U.S. Capitol Historical Society symposium.

Len Travers describes the U.S. Capitol cornerstone ceremony on September 18, 1793 and the specific symbolism of the procession. It is a very interesting scholarly treatise of the Masonic symbols and their expected effect on the crowd that day.

Steven Bullock broke new ground in his work about Freemasonry's influence in the colonies that became states. Bullock makes the point that Masonry was everywhere in the formative years of our country, including the United States Capitol Building. Bullock traces the Masonic Fraternity from its arrival in 1730 to its near destruction a century later.
