The West Virginia Capitol Building


I went to visit my mom over the weekend in West Virginia with my Motherinlaw, niece and #2 son. We went to see the Capitol building but because it was 96* outside, we decided to do a drive by instead of a walking tour....It is one of the prettiest capitols in the United States...but then I am a bit biased!

  6. Indeed it appears to be a beautiful capital building - and it probably would have been cool inside, too! :-)

  8. I don't know if you caught this, but the dome hasn't always been gold and black- typical limestone buildings retain their limestone color, with a few engravings or carvings. My educated guess would be that the black, recently added, reflects the black of the coal that sustains the state's (and, on a larger extent, the country's) economy.
