I truly enjoyed my brief visit to this State Capitol, and was able to take photos of the Senate Chamber because the Senate was not in session when I was there."> This photo is dedicated to a special BP member fascinated by the inventor of the incandescent light bulb.

Description

These grand chandeliers hang in the Senate Chamber of the Pennsylvania State Capitol, Harrisburg, PA. If you look closely, you can see an "X" shining from the globe, resulting from a diamond cut in the glass. Each light is illuminated by a regular light bulb.
