This plan would not bring the central section of the building out as far as the two wings. The consulting architects who studied the subject for Congress in 1904, Carrere & Hastings, recom- ‘mended that the central part be moved eastward only so far as was necessary to give the dome the apparent support it lacks.

Briefly, that plan would provide for the following: Moving the entire central east front | forward only so far as necessary (12 feet 10 inches) to bring the main wall of the building at the center under the extreme projection of the dome and “give the dome the apparent support | _which it should have,” according to the Newest of the New Fashions Decisively Underpriced tect of the Capitol extension, dated November 1, 1864, said: “Now that the new dome and the wings of the Capitol are approaching completion, it must be apparent to' every one that the exiension of the cen- | ter building on the east to the Jine of : the new wings becomes an architectural lisle and cotton Sport Hose, perfects nleces.sllty.

They added that this result “is_certainly a monument to the skill of Mr. Walter.” Continuing their com- ment, they said: “While we feel, therefore, that the direct elevation of the east front of the Capitol recommended by Mr. Wal- ter should be carried out in every re- spect, we are at the same time certain that could Mr. Walter have given more time and further study to this great problem, unhampered by practical limi- tations, he would finally have been per- suaded not to project the central build- ing with its pediment any farther east than absolutely necessary to give the dome the apparent support which it now Jacks.
