The iconic 292-ft.-tall dome has been hidden under scaffolding and wrapped in plastic.
By late spring 2021, work should be finished on a $15 million project to repair the water-damaged West Virginia Capitol dome in Charleston and install a new drainage system to mitigate future leaks, among other structural repairs.
