THE CAPITOL DOME
Has an area of 4,100 square feet, requiring 87,500 leaves of gold 82 inches square, 28 karets fine. The gilding and dome were finished October 11, 1879. It is reached by 275 steps from the first floor, or by 212 steps from the elevator's landing. The view therefrom extends nearly fifty miles in all directions, embracing the rivers, the cities, numerous villages, etc.
The central and commanding feature of the build . ing is the dome, which is richly adorned with arcades, columns, galleries, etc. Is is constructed of marble like the rest of the building. The dome, in plan, is a duodecagon (twelve sided), and on each terminal, at angles, is placed a female figure, representing Force, Art, Law, Commerce, Science, Agriculture, (two each); one-half size models are standing at entrance of House gallery, third floor. The large figure representing the Genius of Connecticut surmounts the cupola, and holds two wreaths, one of immortelles and one of laurel, and on its head a crown of oak leaves; the model stands on the first floor in the north wing.
THE FINISH.
The wood finish presents a pleasing variety of oak, ash and black walnut, the details being in conformity with the general work. Substantial vaults with iron and steel doors, and also combination locks, and all the most approved guards for safety are provided for the Treas- urer, School Fund Commissioner, and other officers.
