Excerpt: Benjamin Henry Boneval Latrobe (May 1, 1764 - September 3, 1820) was a British-born American neoclassical architect best known for his design of the United States Capitol, along with his work on the Baltimore Basilica, the first Roman Catholic Cathedral in the United States. Latrobe was one of the first formally-trained, professional architects in the United States, drawing influences from his travels in Italy, as well as British and French Neoclassical architects such as Claude Nicolas Ledoux. Latrobe came to the United States in 1796, initially settling in Virginia where he worked on the State Penitentiary in Richmond.
