Lead

No need to include citations in the lead unless the claims mentioned are really controversial.
The lead should be expanded by at least a few lines more, it looks too short now.

Background

of the planned capitol building Please mention the name of the building when you begin with the main text

Ceremony

which had been named for him two years earlier We need not mention this, can be cut out.
Georgetown silver smith Caleb Bentley Should it not be "silversmith"?
Does "ox" need a link?

I guess that should be all. Well-written and pleasant article. Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 12:55, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
