the supreme court building rises four stories () above ground. the cornerstone was laid on october 13, 1932, and construction completed in 1935, having cost $94,000 less than the $9,740,000 budget authorized by congress ($ in dollars). "the building was designed on a scale in keeping with the importance and dignity of the court and the judiciary as a coequal, independent branch of the united states government, and as a symbol of 'the national ideal of justice in the highest sphere of activity." it is built in the neoclassical style. the public façade is made of marble quarried from vermont, and that of the non-public-facing courtyards, georgia marble. most of the interior spaces are lined with alabama marble, except for the courtroom itself, which is lined with spanish ivory vein marble. for the courtroom's 24 columns, "gilbert felt that only the ivory buff and golden marble from the montarrenti quarries near siena, italy" would suffice. to this end, in may 1933, he petitioned the italian premier, benito mussolini, "to ask his assistance in guaranteeing that the siena quarries sent nothing inferior to the official sample marble."
