Wisconsin State Capitol
The building is modeled after the dome of the United States Capitol building in Washington, DC, except that it is only inches shorter than the national capitol. The dome is constructed from White Bethel Granite from Vermont and is the only granite dome in the United States. It is topped with the 15 foot 5 inch (4.7 m) 22 carat (92%) gold gilded statue "Wisconsin" by sculptor Daniel Chester French. The statue is commonly misidentified as "Lady Forward" or "Miss Forward", which is the name of another statue on the capitol grounds.
The building was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2001. (From Wikipedia) |
