“US Capitol Building, which was inspired by ancient Greek and Roman architecture”
^

The design was executed by my ~x Grandfather, Charles E. Bulfinch, who had to beg payment with a letter to Thomas Jefferson.

Charles Bulfinch studied primarily Greek domes in Europe, for which his architecture was distinguished.

The name Bulfinch made me think of Bulfinch's Mythology so I did some checking. That book was produced by Thomas Bulfinch, who was a son of Charles Bulfinch.
