Mississippi State Capitol Dome (left), 1900-1903; Arkansas State Capitol Dome (right), 1900-1916
Here is a Friday puzzler for all you puzzle masters out there. You might be familiar with “Tale of Two Domes” a saga in which architect George R. Mann claimed that the Mississippi New Capitol building’s dome is based on his design for the Arkansas state capitol building. If you’re unfamiliar you can catch up on the 5 part story in the links below.

My best time was 50 seconds, but someone has set a new record of 49 seconds.

If you get a chance, got to Crawford–preferably on a Saturday via the “scenic route” through Oktoc—and check out the M&O RR section house. It’s on Charlie Hairston Rd. down by the Tom Soya grain elevator bins. MDAH did a survey on the house last August when there were rumors that it was to be demolished. It was built, circa 1888. I hope it can be saved. You will pass by the oldest home in Crawford(circa) 1840–The Golden-Harvey house with the large 4-County Power association-butchered cedar trees in front.

But, I think 0:32 is as fast a time as I can set.
