The seats were designed and made by Julius Lansburgh who was said to be German but when he died his funeral service was performed by a Jewish Rabbi. His design for the House of Representatives was based on the Turkish style which often used the 6 pointed star furniture tacks.
Incidentally the Lansburgh Furniture Company was in the Old Masonic Temple.
The building was renovated in the year 2000 at a cost of $33 million. Isn't that cute?
