I live to hear the history and see the details of the architecture. I’m the geeking America tourist gawks at such works of art and takes picture of if. I appreciate the vision and skill that it takes to bring it to fruition because that’s what I lack.
Keep up the good work! God bless our United States of America and the people who built it!

Wow, what a change! They look great. Good job!
I was elated to read this article and learn of the lantern’s restorations reigniting a beautiful, historical detail at our nation’s Capitol. Outstanding!
I was born and raised in DC and my Father was a Capital Police Officer. The Capital has always been my favorite building and grounds. Do you think the fence will ever be removed? That fence just breaks my heart. My favorite time there was taking my grandson there and walking the grounds and touring the Capital and Library of Congress. Praying I can return and bring my other grandchildren and be able to walk freely around the grounds again.
The Capitol campus and grounds are historic icons of great importance to our nation, and it's heartbreaking to see the fencing surrounding it and the White House. It is a daily reminder of the lows to which Americans can sink.
