Answer:

The Supreme Court really didn’t have a fully functional home until 1935.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Court was in various locations before the Civil War, and it was housed in the Old Senate Chamber from 1861 to 1935. The chamber wasn’t spacious; the Justices ate lunch in the robing room. Chief Justice William Howard Taft led the drive for a Supreme Court building in the 1920s.
