Jefferson City Missouri ~ State Capitol ~ The House Lounge - Mural

            Room Function

The House Lounge has been open to the public since the commission of the Benton murals in 1935 when visitors were allowed to observe the project in progress. With the exception of meetings scheduled by legislators, the lounge continues to remain open to the public. At the time the mural was painted legislators did not have their own offices, so the lounge served as a place for legislators to congregate. The room began to fall out of use as a lounge as committees and other organizations outgrew their old meeting rooms; these rooms were then reclaimed one-by-one by legislators as offices. Today the room functions primarily for the admiration of Benton’s most socially-charged work. To the north side of the House Lounge sits the office of the Speaker of the House (which controls room reservations), and to the south side the office for the Chairman of the Budget and Planning Committee.
