I'm not exactly sure what she was protesting against but she seems to have been
there since 1981

Don't know who this was but he looks a bit like the Swedish king Karl XII

Bulfinch Gate House:
During the early part of the 1800s, the Mall was heavily wooded and open space
used in much the same way as an early British commons. Some DC residents allowed
their cattle to graze on the open lands of the Mall and, it is said, the cattle
developed a habit of wandering onto the grounds of the new Capitol Building and
(perhaps) walking into the chambers and disturbing the debates.
Congress finally directed the Architect of the Capitol, Charles Bulfinch, to
address the problem. His solution was to raise an iron fence around the grounds.
This gatehouse, its companion at 15th and Constitution, and four stone posts (three
of which are placed at the corners of the 15th and Constitution intersection and
one of which stands at 7th and Constitution) were all part of the structure that
held the fence in place.
