Fourth or Fifth Architect?

This article states that Thomas U. Walter was the fourth and the fifth Architect of the Capitol, so which is it? -Noha307 (talk) 22:16, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What?

The para starting with Nor, is a strange mess. Maybe someone could smooth it out?Longinus876 (talk) 14:57, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I also removed the tangential statement about the Massachusetts capitol dome being the first in the country. It's in the source, but the source appears to be mistaken. The Maryland State house dome preceded it. AmateurEditor (talk) 00:36, 12 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That was fast. Many thanks.Longinus876 (talk) 14:54, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
