East Front Capitol Steps Under Repairs for Leak
From Times Wire Reports
A central staircase into the Capitol will be dismantled for the next four months to fix a leak, the architect of the Capitol said.
The 35 granite steps leading into the east front entrance will be removed so workers can install a new rubberized waterproofing system underneath, said Eva Malecki, a spokeswoman for the architect’s office.
Malecki said a temporary wooden staircase would be installed in case of emergency evacuations.
