- Description:
- Georgia's state capitol, home of the Georgia General Assembly, was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1973. Since 1993 the nineteenth-century structure has been undergoing a total restoration, from the dome and pinnacle to the marble floors and interior lighting.
Photograph of the Georgia state capitol dome in Atlanta, Georgia. A statue of a woman with a torch in one hand and a sword in the other stands atop the gilded dome. Residents of Dahlonega and Lumpkin County, the site of Georgia's gold rush in 1829, donated twenty ounces of gold in 1958 to cover the state capitol dome. The dome was regilded about twenty years later and today is maintained on an ongoing basis. - Metadata URL:
