Looking for a holiday gift that gives? Support the renovation of the Colorado State Capitol Building dome. It’s in need of help, as noted on the website dedicated to its repair:
“The cast iron enclosure of the dome and drum has deteriorated due to water infiltration and the intense freeze-thaw cycle of Colorado. The observation deck, the unforgettable field trip destination for generations of Colorado’s school children, has been closed to all visitors since 2007 due to the danger of falling cast iron. Experts have declared the deteriorated structural metal fasteners holding the enclosure together to be a significant hazard to the building and its occupants.”
