This photo taken July 23, 2013 show the Capitol in Washington. The iconic Capitol Dome is temporarily getting a new look. The 150-year-old, cast-iron dome will soon be sheathed in scaffolding for about two years, a requirement of its first major restoration since 1960. The Architect of the Capitol, Stephen T. Ayers, announced the restoration work on Tuesday, saying itÂ?s needed to address more than 1,000 cracks and other problems in the structure. The restoration is expected to cost about $59.5 million.
