The Golden Dome
University of Notre Dame, Indiana
CC0 · Wikimedia Commons
The university burned to the ground in 1879 and its founder, Edward Sorin, told the students that he had aimed too low and would rebuild it bigger. They did it in a summer. The dome went up on top with a statue of Mary above it, gilded in real gold leaf and re-gilded every few decades, thin enough that the whole covering weighs a few pounds.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
