The Dome Designed by renowned architect Albert Pissis, the original Dome and Market Street façade were considered the signature features of the building when it opened in 1896. The 102 foot-wide, three-story circular structure weighs 500, 000 pounds. The restored dome is the centerpiece of a 200-foot-long, 65-foot-wide atrium and colonnade. It is 98-feet from the floor of the grand rotunda, which begins on the fourth floor of the centre, to the top of the Dome’s ceiling. As part of the construction process, the Dome was elevated 58-feet in its original position to the roof of the new structure to allow natural light through its crown and lunette windows. The Dome now sits about 168-feet above Market and Mission Streets. More than 900 lights encased in the ribs of the Dome have been restored around its more than 800 glass panels.
