Nevada State Capitol 2

This is one of those times when I wish I had photoshop to adjust the washed out effect on the rotunda.

Nevada Centennial Marker No. 25:
"Completed in 1871, Nevada's splendid Victorian capitol was build of sandstone from the quarry of the town's founder, Abe Curry [the man behind the building of the Carson City mint]. The octagon annex was added in 1907 [library], the north and south wings in 1915. Notable features are its Alaskan marble walls, French crystal windows and elegant interior."

The entire buiding has been renovated to withstand earthquakes but the windows, marble, staircases, doors, etc. were all removed, stored and replaced after renovation.
