The evidence from the web search explicitly states that 'These 22 Corinthian columns were originally part of the U.S. Capitol building' and are located at the National Arboretum. While the Wikipedia entries for the Arboretum and Capitol provide general context, the specific photographic record and description from VictoriaStiegel.net directly confirm the presence and origin of the columns.
