I don’t know if you’ve ever taken the time to read the Wikipedia page about the Iowa Capitol Building, but it’s rather interesting. Namely the portion about the cost - that only $3.77 went unaccounted for in the entire construction. Typical Iowans - fastidiously responsible.

An exhibit of shoes in remembrance of people who have jumped from the Golden Gate Bridge is displayed during a commemoration of the bridge’s 75th anniversary on May 27, 2012, in San Francisco. The Bridge Rail Foundation, which advocates for a safety net along the span to prevent suicides, estimates approximately 1,558 people have died after jumping since the bridge opened. A marine-grade stainless steel net is planned, but progress on the project has been slow, and it remains unfunded. (AP Photo/Noah Berger)

Too bad it got struck with lightning a few years back and only part of it is there now.
