New Hampshire State Capitol
Concord, NH
The New Hampshire State House, built in a Greek Revival style, features an octagonal lantern supporting a gilded dome crowned by an eagle. Originally erected in 1818, the wooden eagle was replaced by a copper replica in 1957, standing 150 feet above Concord’s streets.
EverGreene performed extensive restoration work on the dome and eagle, including:
- Removing the deteriorated gold leaf
- Prepping and priming metal surfaces
- Applying 23.75 karat gold leaf across the 2,300 square foot dome
- Repairing ornamental painting and gilding to restore original condition
The original wooden eagle is now preserved inside the State House, serving as a historical artifact.
