The Minnesota State Capitol is both an architectural masterpiece and a revered public building. This beautiful Renaissance Revival structure is the heart of the state's civic life:a place for celebrations:demonstrations:arguments:and accomplishments. It's where history happens.
Completed in 1905:the capitol is a grand building on a grand scale:and it reflected Minnesota's growing cosmopolitanism. Noted architect Cass Gilbert won the design competition and then fought ferociously to see his vision built. At construction:the capitol was a marvel of modern engineering:with its own heating plant and the second-largest self-supported marble dome in the world. And more than a century later:after a meticulous renovation in 2015&;17:the building glows again with its original beauty.
This book includes stories of the capitol's construction and restoration:laborers and craftspeople:fine art and furnishings:and politics and protests. It features remarkable photographs:recently saved from a dumpster:that document the original construction. And it celebrates this beloved building's continued life at the center of the state's civic culture.
