by

The Robert Taft Memorial is located between the Constitution Avenue and New Jersey Avenue. It represents the statue of Senator Taft. According to the information provided on the website “ this memorial to Robert A. Taft, presented by the people to the Congress of the United States, Stands as a tribute to the honesty, indomitable courage, and high principles of free government symbolized by his life.”

Also commenting about his role in the US senate, Moser, (2001) said that most of his colleagues in the Senate used to look at him as an obstructionist because he had a tough mind that needed strong argument to influence. He was difficult to be swayed. A case in point was during World War II when one intelligent official from Britain described him as one with a tough mind. He again manifested this tendency of his during Harry Truman administration during the cold war when he openly criticized him. 

The Hart Building

The reason that propelled the construction of the second senate building was what brought about the third: the need for more space. The architect that was chosen to carry out this project was George M. White. He then commissioned the work to John Carl Warnecke. 

The building has office allowance for about fifty senators. In 1976, the senate building was officially named after Senator Philip Hart.
