Frank Albo's claims are theories to some degree. He has not always provided good evidence of what the architects themselves said and wrote about. There needs to be a more exact research method of returning to the original documents that clarify what the neoclassical artists were intending to do.

[edit] Tone of Article
The tone of this article is a bit dramatic ("beautiful statues . . . grand paintings on the ceiling and impressive Latin words above"). Also, perhaps the article should be reorganized so that the esoteric theories are not peppered throughout the article. Brackfalker 03:40, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
There are many guidebooks that provide the details of the symbols. They were written around the time the building was finshed. There is no basis for the christian thirteen, the ark of the covenant and other assumptions about the meaning of the building except speculation. Melee
[edit] good article

[edit] removing project link
Not sure why this was listed as part of the Freemasonry Project... the article does not even mention the organization in passing. I have deleted the Project link. Blueboar 12:41, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
The Masons are now mentioned, but it should be assumed by anyone educated enough that Masons did build such a building. Who else would? --joseph 00:21, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Golden Boy
Reverted changes made. "and the Spirit of Enterprise". The Golden Boy first got his nickname in 1919 when he was first placed on the building and the sun shon off his bronze exterior and he appeared to be golden." The Golden Boy was so named due to he was painted gold until 1951.Zef 01:01, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Expand
Would someone be willing to write a section on The Speaker's Reception Room, Manitoba's Mace, and the Portraits that are within the Leg hallways? Zef 02:03, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
