A History of Indoor Inaugurations
Since inaugurations started to be held outside in 1817, Trump's will be just the fourth inauguration in history to be held inside. Between 1789 and 1817, for the swearing in of presidents George Washington, Jon Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison, inaugurations took place indoors.
President-elect Trump's inauguration will now take place inside the U.S. Capitol due to cold weather forecast for Monday, the first indoor inauguration since Ronald Reagan's second inauguration in January 1985.
The 1985 ceremony was originally planned for the Capitol’s west front, as is customary, but the extreme weather prompted a last-minute move to the Rotunda.
The presidential inauguration ceremony will take place on what could be the coldest inauguration day since 1985.
Dangerously cold temperatures are expected on Inauguration Day, sending millions of spectators to find other ways to watch the historic swearing in.
