The building was designed by Cass Gilbert and modeled after Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome - the unsupported marble dome is the second largest in the world, after Saint Peter's. Work began in on the capitol in 1896, and construction was completed in 1905.

Very nice Tom, looks like another building I seen somewhere but can't put my finger on it. Have you got any history to share about this building?
