What state has the prettiest State Capitol buildings? (largest, best, cons)

[Rico from East Los]

Arizona looks pretty funny with swastikas smeared with beans all over their windows.

The pictures above for the Louisiana and Connecticut ones look very nice.

Texas one is moderate, nothing too special/distinguishing.

larger and prettier than dc capitol because the material is a prettier color (sandstone or something?).

No Doubt

It's also probably the only state capitol in a large downtown environment.

Just figured I would post this exert from Wikipedia:

The Texas State Capitol was ranked ninety-second in the "America's Favorite Architecture" poll commissioned by the American Institute of Architects, that ranked the top hundred-and-fifty favorite architectural projects in America as of 2007. In a 2008 poll by the AIA, it was also ranked the number-one state capitol.

I would say one of the main reasons would be the pink granite. In the sunlight, it's unlike anything I have seen.

they all look exactly the same, except north dakota's, WHICH IS A FREAKING SKYSCRAPER!!!

Texas' is taller than the one in D.C. and it looks really nice when they light it up at night and you can see it for miles down South Congress and from windows all over the city.

Conneticut's is great!

Pennsylvania's is my favorite and I am kind of biased.
