By mid-1887, the walls of the state capital were up and the dome began to take shape.
In February 1888, the Goddess of Liberty statue was placed on the dome. When the Capitol
was finished, it measured over 310 feet in height, had 392 rooms, 924 windows and 404
doors. It took over 1,000 people, including engineers, contractors, laborers and
craftsmen, seven years to build at a cost of $3,744,600.
