I could buy it as the U.S. Capitol, but what are the two side domes? Maybe he was suggesting renovations. C.V. was a kid when they finished the dome during the War, and being from Frederick and Cumberland he probably visited D.C. at some time and saw the Capital in person. I could imagine him motivated to build a model. The Derrs were Unionists. Some other branches of my family would certainly NOT be modeling the U.S. Capitol in that generation.
Good to get a modeler's perspective. All I could think was the scale's too small for a dollhouse.
