Famous For: its 23k gold dome
To Do: take the free guided tour & see The Great Hall
So why was the dome covered with gold? At first I thought it was to imitate a Muslim’s temple or maybe that’s just the way government show off. But upon my research I realize that at first the dome was made out of wood then it started leaking so Paul Revere (this man is everywhere in the history!) covered it with copper. Guess that didn’t work or something so they finally tried gold.

I love this photo. Building has a great design, although I think copper looks more pleasant than gold in this case.
