Photos: Signs of Inauguration

Inauguration preparation and construction has begun at the U.S. Capitol Building.

Much of Capitol Hill is being fenced off due to Inauguration preparation.

Each year the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree is sourced from a different U.S. National Forest.

The 2020 Capitol Christmas Tree hails from Colorado, specifically the The Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison National Forests.

Signs of Inauguration

Most of Lafayette Park is fenced off and will likely stay this way until late January. However, you can still see signs of inauguration starting to take shape. The reviewing stands on Pennsylvania Avenue NW are being contructed as we speak.

This is typically the last public stop for the president on inauguration day. I doubt anything about this inauguration will be typical, but historically, the new president walks and/or rides the 1.2 miles from the Capitol where they are actually assume the office to the White House where they'll begin actual service.

These reviewing stands offer the final chance for people to view the new president before they officially get to work in the Oval Office.
