"The Capitol dome restoration project is complete," Ayers said at a media briefing Tuesday. "Our work revealed and preserved the exquisite craftsmanship that went into the construction of this great dome."
The national landmark as we know it was finished in 1866 during Abraham Lincoln's presidency and the Civil War.
During restoration, workers found items left behind from the original construction, including a man's signature and a 150-year-old crowbar, according to the Washington Post.
