The magnificent lime-green, terra cotta tile dome of the Pennsylvania State Capitol Building was in his rearview mirror as he drove across the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Bridge. The fifth and current Pennsylvania State Capitol Building has been a masterpiece since completion in 1906. The dome, with 48 portholes, resembles St. Peter’s Basilica. On top is a gilded statue of Commonwealth. She symbolizes justice. This view is from State Street Bridge. Also called the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Bridge, the quarter-mile deck is accented with two Art Deco pylons topped with eagles.
