start here with solomon layton, who was the principal architect on the capitol. this is a 1915 drawing of the capital. and i show this to folks just so they understand the dome really was a part of the plan in the beginning. the building was built without the dome between 1914 and 1917. did not build the dome then because they ran out of money. but they had built all of the supporting substructure for the dome. so when we got around to building the dome, beginning in 2001, we were able just to start at the roof line and go up. the base of the building is covered with pink and black granite that comes from indiana. white indiana limestone on the main part. the dome's covered with a manmade stone, and that's how they were able to match the building as well as they did. the floors of the capital are alabama marble. chosen for its durability. you'll see vermont marble in the baseboards. you'll see it in steps. you'll see it in pillars throughout the building. through the efforts of senator charles ford we have added some 100 new pieces of artwork throughout the capit
