inforced with 720 tons of steel bars.
When the exterior of the building had
been completed it was found that 74,491
tons of material had been used. 1t would
take a freight train approximately 20
miles long to haul the materials used in
the building.
The Greek portico, the public entrance
to the temple, is supported by eight
gigantic columns of polished green New
Hampshire granite. The colossal proper
tionS of these columns were inspired by
the Parthenon of Athens, and their
classic style of architecture, the Doric,
gives to the massive building a subtle
grace and beauty combined with great
solidity and enduring strength. The tall,
fiuted columns-each 80 feet high, feet
in diameter, and weighing 10 tons-are,
indeed, remarkable, for granite can only
be polished by skilled and tedious hand
labor, an operation which is SO expensive
that it is rarely attempted The arch
over the portico is the largest fiat arch
known in the world. 1t is made in five
sections and the middle, or keystone
rock, alone weighs 13 tons.

portico Is carved profile head of WASH
