Our Lovable, Laughable Capitol - A History of Capitol Modifications
Visiting the fully restored Capitol, it can be easy to take for granted just how beautiful the building is today and assume that it has always looked this way. History, though, tell us a different story. Working through some growing pains, the mid-20th century saw major modifications made to the Capitol in the name of modernization and practicality. These alterations resulted in a maze of hazardous overfloors, or half-floors, throughout the building. Join us as we tour the Capitol and get a glimpse of some of the more dramatic changes the building has seen.
