36 Kentucky State Capitol Building Rotunda Dome in Frankfort, Kentucky

Although the Kentucky State Capitol in Frankfort was built in 1909. However, the four murals in the triangular spaces, called pendentives, of the rotunda dome did not exist until 100 years later. They are titled: Civitas, The Light of Progress; Industry, The Strength of Commerce; Nature, The Bounty of the Land; and Culture, The Fruits of Knowledge. A detailed brochure on these works is available from the Division of Historic Properties. The art was created by Evergreen Studios from New York City. This firm has become my favorite for restoring the architectural beauty of historic buildings in the United States.
