Beneath the Rampant Colt
Hartford's Russian Dome
An old legend states that a Turkish Sultan gave Sam Colt the blue dome; the truth is probably that he was impressed by the Byzantine churches he saw in Russia. The colt holds part of a spear in his teeth; he balances the other part between his forelegs. The dome is one part of the building that requires the most maintenance; I am aware of three renovations over the past thirty years or so.
