(Cover photo by Holland Doran, AAC Communications Coordinator)
he Arkansas Capitol Dome received a cleaning back in June by Roberts-McNutt, Inc. Water- proofing/Roofing. The dome had not been cleaned since the summer of 2006. On the dome are Zack Hansen (blue shirt) and Butch Harris (gray shirt) sharing power washing duties. Up in the cupola is Tim Hansen operating the safety lines, according to the Arkansas Secretary of State’s Office.
U-S-history.com notes that the Capitol Building stands 230 feet tall and features a circular central drum tower capped with a dome and cupola. Construction on the building, a replica of the White House, be- gan in 1899 with George Mann and ended in 1915 with Cass Gilbert. The exterior is made of limestone, which was quarried in Batesville. Total construction cost was $2.2 million with today’s value of the build- ing being $320 million. The front entrance doors are made of bronze, which are 10 feet (3 metres) tall, four inches (10 cm) thick and were purchased from Tiffany’s in New York for $10,000. The cupola is covered in 24 karat gold leaf. The Capitol was built on the site of the state penitentiary and prison- ers helped construct the building.
