Actually, you can get really nice clear shots (including the exact prints you used) from shorpy.com. The third one down is my current desktop background.

Say i always wondered about this. What is with the dome on the east end of the building?
It appears in so many paintings of the building but i have never seen a photo of it.
I wonder if it was demolished or never built.

^ You could say that even if the dome was there; it was demolished along with the building.
