About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1860. Excerpt: ... Report On The New Dome. Office Of New Dome Of Capitol, Washington, November 6, 1860.

The base of the dome and the part above the colonnade have been placed under contract during the past year, and at this time the whole of the base is finished, except a small part at the northeast corner, which has been left off to permit the proper manipulation of the hoisting apparatus. The fitting of the foundation of the base to the walls of the old building was a tedious and expensive work. The appearance of the dome has been much improved by the completion of the base.

A contract has been entered into, by direction of the department, by which the base of the dome and all that part of it above the colonnade are to be erected at a fixed price of seven cents per pound. It is estimated that under this contract the cupola will be erected by the 1st of July next. The lantern of the dome, and the statue of freedom which will surmount it, will easily be erected in the whole of 1861. The casting in bronze of Crawford's colossal statue of freedom was commenced in June last, and has progressed well. It is now about one half finished, and the style of the work is entirely satisfactory. As soon as it is completed it will be erected on some prominent spot in the vicinity of the Capitol for exhibition until the dome is ready for, its reception. On the pay-roll...
