Notes: From the History, Art & Archives of the United States House of Representatives: The Member's Dining Room of the U.S. House of Representatives has been "located in the same rooms in the Capitol since 1858." Click the link above to see nearly the same pattern made by Syracuse China in the mid-20th century.

The topmark shows the Capitol building in Washington D.C. encircled by a blue band of white stars with a spread-winged eagle and shield, flanked by a ribbon banner with the words House of Representatives.
