About This Document: The project included a restored marble lobby, cleaned and painted rotunda, and an additional 50,000 square feet of underground space. Dennis McKinney, a former representative and minority leader who is now the state treasurer, says the statehouse renovation project began to get more expensive than originally anticipated when "they found out there was a lot more wrong with the building than originally thought." [...] the work has been extensive, repairing a decaying limestone exterior, roof leaks and renovating the Capitol's basement to make way for offices and a visitor's center. Other savings in the Idaho statehouse included using bronze hand rails instead of antique brass, which reduced the project cost by $600,000, and factory-made windows instead of the hand-crafted kind for a savings of $250,000.
