All I can think about is all the time I've spent wandering around the Capitol marveling at the architectural beauty and detail and the tiny unintentional historical shrines to the republic behind every door and it makes me angry but mostly sad to see people trying to destroy it.
One of the rooms I've spent a ton of time in at the Capitol is H-144, a tiny meeting room that also doubled in my day as the main Leg Approps hearing room. It has an unbelievable Brumidi painting on the ceiling. I hope it was spared. 
But it was the random stuff you'd find behind every door that I really loved. Here's a wall of historical political photos from a random room, I think it might have been H-216, the Approps Chair's office.
The Capitol also has all these ridiculous little stairways. I used to take a stairway from H-147 down to the basement, and it literally looks like you're opening a maintenance closet when you access it.
I also love the tiny spiral stone staircase near the Speaker's office.

Obviously, the Capitol has amazing exterior views. Watching those idiots trash the west front enraged me. I used to spend a lot of time staring out this window at the gardens.
