For what it's worth, that's the Massachusetts State Capitol here in Boston--designed by Charles Bullfinch in 1798, and the dome copper-leafed by Paul Revere in 1802 (now gold-leafed).
Paul Revere?
Wow, how romantic that sounds to my fanciful antipodean imagination!
(Oh, hold on, I think I'm getting confused with Paul Revere and the Raiders, the 1960s pop group! I was
totally in lurve with the lead singer, way back when.)
