U.S. Capitol dome slated for restoration project
A $10.5 million project to restore the skirt of the U.S. Capitol Dome in Washington, D.C., will soon be under way. The dome skirt — the lower level of the cast-iron structure — needs repairs to the historic ironwork, sandstone, and brick masonry. Old paint will be removed from the interior and exterior and be repainted. Click here for more information.
