7. Honolulu's "Big Square Building"

March 15, 1969 marked the historic opening of Hawaii's State Capitol building. The State Capitol -- with its renowned spacious, open-air structure and symbolic features -- is home to the executive and legislative branches of Hawaii's state government and the center of legislative activity in the State.

The aesthetically-pleasing building consists of cone-shaped Senate and House chambers, symbolizing the volcanoes of the Hawaiian Islands; impressive building columns, symbolizing the palm trees that grace our island state; and a vast pool of water surrounding the State Capitol, symbolizing Hawaii as the only island-state in the nation.

The original capitol was 'Iolani Palace, home to Hawaiian royalty before it was overthrown in 1893, but perhaps more familiar to most as (the fictional) Hawaii Five-O HQ. "This is McGarrett. Patch me through to Central..."

8. Albany New York...

Unlike many state capitol buildings which are inspired by Classical architecture, the New York capitol building takes its inspiration from the Hôtel de Ville in Paris. The building history is complicated, extending over a quarter of a century and involving the efforts of four architects. Thus the Capitol demonstrates various styles.

9. Florida's ugly capitol building....

[gyopsy]

20. The building isn't the problem

It's the evil that works inside it that I worry about.

[JohnLocke]

27. Too true, my friend

[TSIAS]

22. Yep, that's ours

I visited it last time I was in Tallahassee.

[Taverner]

10. Funny you say that

Last year I ended up doing a State Capitols of the West Coast tour...by accident.

Drove through Sacramento (passed capitol bldg)



..then hit Salem OR (also passed capitol)



then hit Olympia (had LUNCH at capitol bldg)



then went to Vancouver. Saw something that looked like a capitol building, not sure tho.

Then, on the way back had to stop in Reno, which meant passing through Carson, and, of course, the capitol bldg.

18. Victoria is the capital city of B.C.

Its capitol building is nice, as is the city.

[Taverner]

26. To be honest I don't think there's anything not nice

About Vancouver or Victoria...every time I'm there I feel like I landed into the platonic ideal of what a city *should* be...clean, friendly and full of sushi bars...

[m-jean03]

28. In which works of Plato

Does he discuss the merits of sushi bars?;-)

[DebJ]

11. look on a Maryland quarter for their's...most boring of all state qrtrs!

12. GA's capital in ATLANTA at night

On car trips coming up from Florida. I consider it to be one of the better looking ones I've seen.

[Gildor Inglorion]

41. Thanks for posting that!

Dayum, it makes me homesick...I love Mississippi for many reasons, but Georgia will always be home!

[NewHampster]

13. Here's New Hampshire's State Capital

Home of the General Court of The State of New Hampshire

The Second Largest legislature on the planet. The prime reason nothing ever gets done here.

15. The Ohio Statehouse...

...severe Doric (designed in 1839) with that strange drum dome:



...yet the rotunda is a big more grand inside.

16. North Dakota's Sky Scraper of the Prairie

[ironflange]

23. I've taken the tour!

That building may be drab on the outside, but inside it's full of the most gorgeous wood work imaginable.

[Waverley_Hills_Hiker]

33. Skyscraper capitals?

I didnt know N Dakota had a skyscraper captial, too.

I knew that Nebraska and Louisiana had skyscaper capitals.

29. A teeny-tiny picture, which is all it deserves (SC)

So poor we have a copper dome. It was green all my life and presumably for the entire 20th century until 1998. Hey, at least we got the friggin' battle flag off of it finally.

The former capital was this neoclassical gem (in the Ionic order)



... now a museum.
