IIRC, Coolidge was sworn in by his dad, and not at the Capitol. Trump should do similar. (Yes I know his dad is deceased...)

That’s because Harding died and Coolidge was Vice President.
He was with his family in Vermont at the time and his father was a notary public.
Later back in DC he was sworn in again, just to make sure given his father was a state official.
I like your idea of Trump doing something different, but I’m not sure what that could be.
Yes, Coolidge was VP and was in Vermont on vacation with his family when President Harding died. Coolidge’s father, Frank Coolidge, was a Federal judge. So they just went out on the back porch and his father administered the oath of office.
I would like to see President Trump sworn in by US Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas.
