Description




Completed in 1917, this building serves as the functional heart of state government, housing the legislative chambers, the Supreme Court, and the Governor's office. Beyond its official duties, the structure is a showcase of ornate marble, detailed woodwork, and specialized craftsmanship integrated into its grand rotunda and halls. You can explore the building to examine its intricate design details up close or visit the sixth-floor museum for additional context. During the warmer months, the seasonal observation deck provides a vantage point for a 360-degree look at the city and surrounding lakes.
