Description
Led by architect Cass Gilbert, construction of the Minnesota State Capitol Building began in 1896. After nine years and a cost of $4.5 million, the Renaissance Revival-style building opened to the public on Jan. 2, 1905. Architects and artists praised its exterior, its huge marble dome, its self-supporting stairways and its magnificently decorated interior.
For the interior Gilbert specified Minnesota-quarried granite, sandstone and limestone to fully represent the various stones from the state. Inside, the building has more than 300,000 square feet of floor space, or about 5 million cubic feet of space. (Wikipedia)
