After four years, the church was still unfinished. The vestry relieved Mr. Parsons of his duties as overseer of the construction. John Carlyle accepted the position and handed the keys of the completed building over to the vestry in February 1773.

It is crowned by a magnificent white dome that overlooks the city of Washington and has become a widely recognized icon of the American people and government.
