Summary edit

Description The 1862 image above by artist Edward Sache portrays a romanticized view of Washington, D.C. It envisions a completed green Capitol Dome. However, the Dome was never any color other than white. The bottom image shows a completed Dome in 1865 with flags at half-staff for the death of Abraham Lincoln.
