State Capitol Buildings: Need All 50
Feb 2, 2012 16:13:31 #
State capitol buildings are great examples of architecture that will never be seen again. Help me collect a photo of each state capitol. Even if your state has been posted, if your shot angle is different, post it. These wonderful, well-lighted buildings create unique opportunities for night shots when the traffic has cleared and there are no tourists in the way.
Olympia, Washington
Raliegh, NC
Madison, WI

LOL...well they can be confusing at first glance. You are referring to Madison, WI. This is sort of a hobby. I love touring these wonderful structures and learning the history of the building and the state. These three represent a sampling of the East, Mid-West, and West. You could post your state.

Why thank you! That was my first night shot. With help of my hubby. I know I have shots of the capitol inside but like you I can't find them.

Madison is an exact copy of the US Capital is DC. There may be another state with a similar one.

What a great project idea! Our state capitol, Pennsylvania, is noted (so we're told) as the most handsome capitol in the country due to the mosaics, wood and marble interior on the domed ceiling and courtrooms. It is a regular visiting site for school children every year. I've been there many times, but don't have a picture for you. Hopefully someone does, because it is breathtakingly stunning. If not, you've challenged me to go back and get some!

Yes, Kathi, the PA Capitol in Harrisburg is spectacular. I especially like the old stone bridge with it's many arches leading to it. Would love for someone from PA to contribute to this topic.

It could be marble, but they take it for granite. Ha Ha
