About this pattern

The United States Capitol seen square on from the front. A tall white dome with five gray ribs stands on a ring of slim columns and is topped by a small columned lantern with a dark finial. Below it a portico of columns carries a gray triangular pediment, with two dark windows in the white wall on each side and two gray steps in front. A small American flag flies on a pole from the roof on either side of the dome, both blowing to the right, each with a navy canton and red and white stripes and no stars. A strip of green lawn runs along the bottom. Dark brown outline.

53 stitches wide by 56 high: 1,844 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Winter White 3865, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Pearl Gray 415 and 4 more).
