Indiana State Capitol, Indianapolis

The Indiana State Capitol, in its current building, goes back to 1888. The Capitol is one of the most popular attractions in Indianapolis, having welcomed visitors from all fifty states and many countries. An extensive renovation in 1988 helped mark the building's 100th anniversary and keep it in ideal condition for future generations.

This structure's style is Renaissance Revival, sharing some of the same influences as the U.S. Capitol. The grounds host flowering trees and shrubs, as well as memorials and monuments. All of the ceiling and wall designs are period, and there are two three-story atriums within the building.

The Capitol building features Indiana limestone construction. Noteworthy interior features include granite columns, marble floors and stairs, and a dome crafted of stained glass. Public tours are an excellent way to fully take advantage of everything that this building offers.
