Tower Staircase Solar Calendar
This free hung three-tiered spiral staircase(the construction remains a mystery) leading to the most unusual domed ceiling in North America. The eight sided dome is a glorified calendar with frescos painted in Ann Starrett's image depicting four seasons and four virtues. On the first day of each season the sun shines through a ruby red glass in the top of the tower, casting a red beam of light towards the appropriate seasonal panel. The scantily clad winter nymph caused a mild scandal.
