The Finished Capitol:
The Walter Dome and extensions were completed in 1868 under the supervision of his successor, Edward Clark, who modernized the building with electricity and its first elevator in 1873. The publisher of this educational print helpfully listed dimensions of the Capitol's interior spaces, including the Supreme Court chamber, as well as the costs of the sections and some of the decorative elements.
