Last week, I took my visiting sister to see the Montana
state Capitol building. She—like so many
other people raised here in Helena—had never taken time to see the Capitol building.
She and her husband were impressed.
The Montana Capitol building officially opened for use
on July 4, 1902. The dome is covered with
copper—a metal that largely defined Montana’s history for the first forty years
of statehood. Inside the building, you
find yourself wrapped in brilliant colors and natural daylight that fills the stairways
and dome. The columns and open spaces
and rising constructions are awe inspiring.
I have posted photographs of the Capitol in previous
blogs, but cannot resist doing so again.
These photographs were captured with my smarter-than-me-phone.
