Been there a bazillion times.

I live in Des Moines, and even though i see it every day on my way to work, I am still taken aback at how, there were no power tools, when this thing was built, no cranes, no nothing. there wasn't even scaffolding! If you are there, and you don't see it, you will miss out on a super super amazing thing, and the best part.........ITS FREE! The Paintings 'Westward' and the Doll Collection are simply amazing. oh, and for the record, the dome never collapsed in. It was build like that in the 1860's!!!!!There is no words for the way this thing is. with breathtaking views of Downtown, you simply cannot miss this. You wont deny, that Des Moines is one of the Most Beautiful Cities in the World!!!!!!!!! As Mr. T m might say......' I pity the fool who don't see this there Capitol building!!!!'
