The capitol is 520 feet long and 272 feet tall. It is 254 feet wide at its center wing and its two side wings are 212 feet. The facade of the capitol is constructed out of granite from Hardwick, Vermont. The 94-foot diameter dome is topped by the gilded brass statue of Commonwealth by Roland Hinton Perry. Standing 14 feet 6 inches tall atop a 4-foot diameter ball, the statue is the personification of a commonwealth. The dome itself weighs 26,000 short tons and was architecturally inspired by St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. The doors are decorated with scenes from the history of Pennsylvania, such as the arrival of William Penn and his peace treaty with the Lenape. The entrance is flanked by two sculptures, entitled "Love and Labor: The Unbroken Law" and "The Burden of Life: The Broken Law".
