The Capitol Dome is plastered over many business logos around here. You’ve seen florists, cookie bakers, lobbyists, event companies, cruise lines, all affixed with an image of the mighty dome of the United States Capitol in place of a more imaginative graphic. The 288 foot, 147-year old cast-iron structure, if it had feelings, would be moved by its celebrity, but also disappointed by lacking creativity in the use of its image.
Standing downtown, however, is a building that employs a more subtle nod to the bubble-topped structure. You’ll notice the inverted Capitol silhouette, and then you’ll look down and see the bricked Capitol shape spilling out into the sidewalk. You’ve probably walked by this otherwise nondescript office space without noticing any reference to Washington, DC at all. Well, you’re welcome.
