This aerial of the Capitol Visitor Center on the east side of the Capitol was taken Thursday, June 8, 2006. Installation of two large skylights above the Great Hall is visible in the center of the photo. In the foreground can be seen 32 Tulip Poplar trees which now line entrance paths to the CVC along the East Capitol Street extension. At the top of the photo can be seen the East Front center steps, which had been removed earlier this spring to allow crews to waterproof the concrete slabs below. The original granite step blocks have now been returned to their original locations. Approximately 200,000 eight-inch-square granite paving stones now cover much of the plaza, and most of the historic elements have been reinstalled.
