Harrisburg, Pennsylvania - Pennsylvania Capital

Harrisburg is the capital of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, a state of the United States of America. As of the 2000 census, the city had a population of 48,950. About 90 miles from the university town of State College, it is a great connecting city for the university. Most greyhound buses route via Harrisburg.

The State Capitol of Pennsylvania, located in downtown Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, is the seat of government of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. It was designed by architect Joseph M. Huston. The state Capitol was architecturally inspired by St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, and many consider it the pinnacle of the Commonwealth as the finest state capitol building in the United States. The brilliantly restored rotunda and Senate and House of Representatives Chambers are particularly exquisite spaces adorned with marble, murals, gold leaf and stained glass. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977 and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 2006.

The Chappel has recently been reused as center for performing arts - I believe it's the State Street Arts Center. Not sure how long that will last - but we're all hopeful.

What is your address?
It is not shown in any of the sites about Harrisburg Capitol Building!

The photo you have labeled as "The Lutheran Church" is actually the former St. Lawrence Catholic Church, now the chapel of St. Patrick's Cathedral. Your page is so nice, I thought you'd want to make that correction. Best wishes.

Nice work! I'm moving from CA to Harrisburg soon, so I've been surfing the Web for photos to show others; these are the most representative of the city I've seen so far.
