For Most Of Its History, The Supreme Court Was Just A Tenant

Ed. Note: Welcome to our daily feature Trivia Question of the Day!

The Supreme Court met in borrowed rooms inside the Capitol, in a private house, and on occasion even in a tavern before the construction of One First Street. In what year did the Supreme Court finally get its own home?

Hint: Chief Justice William Howard Taft advocated for the permanent SCOTUS home, but he didn’t live to see the marble “Temple of Justice” finished.
