Description
Atop the Dome is the 19-foot-tall, 4,000-pound statue of Mary, the Mother of God. “Notre Dame” means “Our Lady”. The Main Building, with its famous Golden Dome, is a centerpiece of Notre Dame’s past and present. Today, it serves primarily as a headquarters for administration, although it still contains classrooms. At an earlier time it was where students learned, ate meals, and resided. This structure is actually the third building to stand on the site. It was built in 1879, the same year in which the previous building was destroyed by fire.
