Lunettes
There are three entrance doors to the Members of Congress Room with carved oak lunettes over each by Charles Henry Niehaus. At the north door, the lunette contains a central cartouche with an owl and a figure of a seated youth on either side. The carved oak lunette over the south door duplicates the north door's lunette. The carved oak lunette over the central door contains an American eagle flanked by two cherubs.
