American University College of History building circa 1918 (Library of Congress)

I believe this is Hurst Hall sometime between 1918 and 1920. If you went to AU, how does this compare to the building today?

The university has a good history section on their own website that you should check out.

In late 1959 through 1960, the Capitol Dome underwent a significant repair and restoration effort and at the end of 1959 the exterior of the Dome was surrounded by scaffold.
