That checkerboard-floored room in the California capitol is something else..........talk about cooL!

I am curious though- if anyone has ever gotten a pass and gone up and seen the "infamous" top level of the Illlinois dome/turret. Lived here all my life and never been up there. Post a pic of it here if you have one! Just one of those things...........

Very interesting thread. Really cool looking Capitol buildings. I admit, I don't like New Mexico's. It fits with the Southwestern style, but still...be a little more creative.

I love Illinois' capitol building:

But I also have a special place in my heart for Wisconsin's capitol building:

Texas' is amazing and Iowa's is freaking gorgeous! I say the ugliest are Florida's, North Carolina's, and definitely Hawaii's. That is the worst one!

Bringing back a good thread. Iowa by far has the best looking building. I do like the interior of Missouri's.

I agree, this is such a cool thread! Iowa and Connecticut are about the most impressive I've seen...
