The United States Capitol's dome made of cast iron was projected by Thomas Walter and constructed from 1856-1866 at the total cost of 1,047,291 dollars. On December 2, 1863, the last section of the statue of freedom was put in place on top of the dome. Walter resigned on May 26, 1865, and was succeeded by Edward Clark, who completed the last details.
