The Wisconsin Capitol Building, built in the Beaux Arts style, was designed by architect George B. Post and constructed between 1906 and 1917. It stands on the site of the former state capitol, which was destroyed in a fire in 1904. The building houses the state assembly and senate, governor’s office, and supreme court. Its design includes a Greek cross-shaped floor plan with four wings oriented to the compass points. The building’s exterior is clad in white granite from Vermont and includes pediments with sculptural reliefs, cornices with dentils, and rusticated bases with decorative keystones. The building underwent a major renovation in the 1970s, followed by restoration projects between 1988 and 2002. Today, it remains a symbol of Wisconsin’s government and history.
