Very interesting, Erin! You are quite a sleuth!
I am a teacher and wanted to know if the 365 steps in the Capitol building were a coincidence or they were meant to represent justice every day of the year?
I was an elevator operator on the house side during college from 1972-1976. So many stories I can tell.
