The Old Capitol




If my friend visit here (Iowa city) , I want to


show her the old capital building.


When I first arrived at Iowa, I was very


impressive about gold dome,which made


from gold. However Old capitol ,


November/ 20/ 2001 , was struck


by fire . Destroyed the building's 160


year old cupola, dome and bell.


However now, I can't find the trace of


fire destroied, not at all.


Old capitol building looks brave and


imposing. I'm sure that my friend


will be amazed after look at the


Oldcapitol .

I like the Old Capitol, too! I was very sad when the fire destroyed so much of the building. The original bell is inside the museum and you can see how it was affected by the fire.
