Gone are Kevin McCarthy and the happy-seeming dog that once featured so prominently on a basement wall of the Longworth House Office Building. More than a year after McCarthy’s departure from Congress, and several months into a new Congress, a new and updated mural will soon take its place.
Workers with the Architect of the Capitol are in the process of putting up a new design that aims to be longer-lasting than the original, the House Administration Committee and the House Office of the Chief Administrative Officer confirmed.
“The new mural has a stronger focus on the institution itself, making it more evergreen than the previous mural was,” a House Administration Committee spokesperson said in an emailed statement.
