• An Old World Christmas glass building ornament

The Washington D.C. Landmark Ornament from Old World Christmas is a stunning tribute to two iconic structures that define the heart of the nation's capital. Crafted from glass and glitter, this ornament measures 4.25 inches and captures the grandeur of the White House and the United States Capitol Building.

The famous White House is the home of the President of the United States while he is in office. It's the most important building in Washington, D.C., as well as the Capital Building, which are the primary focus of this ornament. Construction on the White House commenced in 1792 and after 8 years of construction, the first President to occupy the White House, John Adams and his wife Abigail, moved in even though it was quite unfinished. The British set fire in an attempt to burn down the White House in 1814. Construction on the United States Capitol building started in 1793 and became the home of the Congress and legislative branch. These landmark building ornaments are fabulous gifts for those that love the city of Washington, DC or for those that want to commemorate traveling there on vacation!

The White House, synonymous with the presidency, stands as a symbol of American democracy and leadership. Constructed in 1792, it has been the official residence of every U.S. president since John Adams. Despite facing challenges such as the British burning it during the War of 1812, the White House stands today as a beacon of national pride and heritage.

Alongside the White House, the United States Capitol Building holds immense historical significance as the seat of the U.S. Congress and the legislative branch. Its construction began in 1793, and it has witnessed countless pivotal moments in American history, including presidential inaugurations, legislative debates, and national ceremonies.

The Washington D.C. Landmark Ornament is not just a decorative piece but also a meaningful memento for those who cherish the rich history and cultural significance of Washington, D.C. Whether you're a resident, a history enthusiast, or a visitor who has marveled at these majestic buildings, this ornament serves as a timeless reminder of the city's enduring legacy and its vital role in shaping the nation.

Add this exquisite ornament to your collection or gift it to someone special to commemorate their connection to Washington, D.C., and the remarkable landmarks that define its identity.
