White House Query.

[mawnansmiff]

Mods, this is NOT political!

I've noticed on watching various Ken Burns documentary dvds and most recently certain current news items that sometimes the White House is shown in the background of the presenter or narrator with its splendid double tier dome yet on other (recent) images there is no dome at all!

Surely there is only one White House so why the missing double dome in some images or film work?

Regards,

As far as I know there is no dome on the white house. Maybe they were in front of the Capitol Building?

We have one just like that here, our provincial legislature building. It has palm trees in its dome.

It's because the saucers aren't always parked on the roof.

FYI, I don't think any Canadian provincial capitals are Romanesque design, here's Queens Park in Toronto. (2 domes if you look carefully)

Aha, all is now revealed, White House versus Capitol Building!

Thanks for clearing that one up for me chaps. I now feel a proper bonehead for asking the question in the first place ?

I swear, sometimes this place reminds me of Wikipedia in how quickly questions can be answered....along with pictures too!

Regards,

Jay.

The Provincial Leg in Winnipeg Manitoba Canada is a very interesting government building!



“reveals the building to be a modern reconstruction of King Solomon’s Temple and the secret traditions of Freemasonry hidden in plain view. Even the building’s most enduring icon, the Golden Boy, is shown to be a disguised effigy in honour of Hermes, the father of occult philosophy and the patron of Freemasonry.”
