===Old Chambers=== ====Statuary Hall==== {{Main|Statuary Hall}} [[File:Flickr_-_USCapitol_-_National_Statuary_Hall_-_U.S._Capitol.jpg|thumb|[[National Statuary Hall Collection]] viewed from the south]] The National [[Statuary Hall]] is a chamber in the United States Capitol devoted to sculptures of prominent Americans. The hall, also known as the Old Hall of the House, is a large, two-story, semicircular room with a second story gallery along the curved perimeter. It is located immediately south of the Rotunda. It was the meeting place of the U.S. House of Representatives for nearly 50 years (1807β1857). After a few years of disuse, in 1864, it was repurposed as a statuary hall. ====Old Senate and Supreme Court Chambers==== {{Main|Old Senate Chamber}} [[File:Flickr - USCapitol - Old Senate Chamber (1).jpg|thumb|The [[Old Senate Chamber]] in 2012]] [[File:OldSupremeCourt.jpg|thumb|The [[Old Supreme Court Chamber]] in 2007]] The [[Old Senate Chamber]] is a room in the United States Capitol that was the legislative chamber of the United States Senate from 1810 to 1859, and served as the Supreme Court chamber from 1860 until 1935. This room was originally the lower half of the [[Old Senate Chamber]] from 1800 to 1806. After division of the chamber in two levels, this room was used from 1806 until 1860 as the Supreme Court Chamber. In 1860, the [[Supreme Court of the United States|Supreme Court]] began using the newly vacated Old Senate Chamber. In 1935, the Supreme Court vacated the Capitol Building and began meeting in the newly constructed [[United States Supreme Court Building]] across the street.
