National Stauary Hall or, The Old Hall of the House

5510793040 391b0b323a National Stauary Hall or, The Old Hall of the HouseFormerly the meeting hall for the US House of Representatives, this two-story hall now houses the main collection of the US Capitol’s National Statuary Collection.  The acoustics of this hall cause it to have two “whispering spots.”  When strategically standing in the right places, two people could talk to each other from across the room without raising their voices.  The kids in my tour group weren’t very impressed by this at all.
