Most people do not know that the capitol building was used as a church before congress occupied the building. The speaker of the house (Sedgwick) and the president of the senate (Jefferson) gave permission for the house chamber to be used for church meetings. At one time there were up to 14 churches meeting each week in the capitol. It was used in this fashion until the Civil War.
Even 10 years later John Quincey Adams proclaim that the only church in Washington was the one meeting in the capitol and attended by the majority of congress including the POTUS Thomas Jefferson. Even two years after that infamous let he had a regular seat.
