The Capitol Dome is from New York (made and assembled for $1 million during the Civil War, thought important by Abraham Lincoln) as it was cast and assembled by block and tackle and horse by Janes and Kirtland, originally from around the African Burial Ground in Lower Manhattan. They replaced the National Library after the fire, all cast iron, and then they had other contracts, made steel kitchen cabinets last with an office in what's now the parking lot in the South Street Seaport, where the new underground water was supposed to come-up already. There or 1 Police Plaza. Made in the Bronx. So were the deer statues in the opening of the first James Bond film, in Tokyo but by the other iron founders in the Bronx the Mott Foundry, which had a canal since filled-in, in the South Bronx, with an estate in current St. Mary's Park, where nearby Princess Diana and Mother Teresa once met.

The iron work made still exists in various parts of the United States and other countries, though the locations of both foundries are not even noted with signage. Closer, the coal chute covers for the "private" houses on Governors Island were made by the Mott Foundry which once had stove showrooms in the South Street Seaport.
