I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Help? The Medium (Email) links are for screen viewing and emailing. You'll want bigger sizes for printing. [Click here for additional help]

23. LOCGH_191011_25.JPG: Mural Conservation Did you know? The Architect of the Capitol is in the process of performing maintenance at murals conserved between 1986 and 1995 to maintain historical integrity and ensure all patrons continue to have an enjoyable experience. What's happening? We have performed an extensive cross-section analysis of the Maynard Women and Decorative panels and determined layers of oil and/or acrylic paints and dirt/dust that must be carefully removed to the original paint condition. Once that has been completed, repairs will be implemented as required to include color selections to match the original conditions. Impact: The conservation maintenance will be performed at the Great Hall 2nd Floor and include the 8 Maynard Panels as well as 10 decorative panels. The project has an estimated duration of approximately 4-6 months. During this time a rolling scaffolding will be located at the southwest 2nd Floor however this will not impact planned events or daily visitation.
AAA "Gem": AAA considers this location to be a "must see" point of interest. To see pictures of other areas that AAA considers to be Gems, click here.
Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
