Our last post is short - The North Carolina State Capitol in Raleigh,North Carolina. The capitol building was completed in 1840 at a cost of $533,000 (3 times the state gross income at the time). Included in the capitol building is Antonio Canova's statue of George Washington (Not your typical George Washington Statue for sure). We also visited within the capitol the General Assembly, The State Legislature, the State Library and the State Geologist's office. Compared to the many capitols we have visited, this one was somewhat simple. That said, we were still glad to have had the opportunity to visit it and we had an incredible Creole lunch close by.
