Why is the Capitol’s roof and dome green?

0

The green on the roof of the Capitol and dome is actually a green glaze covering red clay terra-cotta tile. The tiles, which were manufactured by the Ludowici Tile Company of New Lexington, Ohio were chosen by Joseph Huston because Ludowici was one of the premier producers of old world terra-cotta tile at the time.
