My father worked in that building for 30+ years. As a kid my brother and I used to climb on the marble pioneer carvings out front. We'd usually get about half way up and one of the "Capitol Police" would come out and tell us to get down. Some days they'd take us up to the "Pioneer Man" at the top, guess they we're just as bored as we were.
One summer, in my mid teens, we worked as "pages." No Mark Foley incidents, pretty boring really. But it beat picking strawberries and beans all summer.
Good times.
