Dome is back home on Old Capitol in Iowa City

February 24, 2003 By admin

The cap is going back on Old Capitol in Iowa City at this hour. Gusty winds threatened to halt the project to use a giant crane to lift the 12-thousand pound golden dome atop the landmark, but University of Iowa crews say it’s safe and are going ahead. Project manager Gary Nagle says he’s been a bit iffy on today’s task because too much movement by the wind can make it dangerous.The historic Old Cap’s cupola, dome and bell tower were demolished in a fire 15 months ago that caused some six-million dollars damage. The new gold leaf-covered dome should be in place by one o’clock.
