Famous for its Caucus and located on a river of the same name, which city's capitol building has one of the world's most massive golden domes?
Answer Des Moines
Go for the gold! That's what Iowans said when they built their state capitol, designing one of the world's largest golden domes at 80 feet in diameter. Back in 1905, when it was gilded, the bill came to a meager $3,500 (about $102,000 in today's money). The restoration in 1999 cost Des Moines taxpayers four times that at $400,000.
