Nice photos of the State Capitol in Jackson. Nicer photo of the gold eagle at the top of the dome!

My grandfather, Thomas W. Starnes, climbed via rigging to the top of the Capitol and applied gold leaf to that eagle back during the Depression - he was a painter in Jackson.

And of course, it faces South!
