Even though the West Virginia Capitol deviated from the design of legendary architect Cass Gilbert; the iconic building is still considered a masterpiece. The full story of the Capitol is filled with twists and turns; from the fortunate fire that burned its predecessor to the tug of war between Wheeling and Charleston for the designation of state capital. Revisit the to-gild-or-not-to-gild debate that raged around the construction of the Capitols signature crown; which once was in danger of collapsing on itself or toppling in heavy winds. Join Charleston author Jim Wallace for this captivating account of West Virginias architectural jewel.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Nice collectionBy jj712This is a pretty full collection of plays by American women. I definitely preferred this collection to the previous one; 1900-1930. Each play is preceded by a brief biography of the author and description of her major works. Fun to read; diverse collection.
