The image, created by Harris & Ewing in 1912, showcases Woods in formal attire, wearing a bowler hat and a tailored suit with a crisp collar and cuffs. The Capitol Building, a symbol of American democracy and political power, can be seen in the background, emphasizing Woods' significant role in its maintenance and upkeep. Elliot Woods served as the Architect of the Capitol from 1902 to 1923, overseeing numerous renovations and expansions of the historic building. During his tenure, he oversaw the addition of the Senate Wing, the House Office Building, and the addition of the Old Senate Chamber. His dedication to preserving the Capitol's architectural integrity and enhancing its functionality made him a respected figure in Washington, D.C.
