Review:
The Nebraska State Capitol is the government seat of the State of Nebraska. This stately building in downtown Lincoln was constructed of Indiana limestone and designed in 1920 by architect Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue. Its architectural style is a curious mix of Art Deco, Neo-Byzantine and Gothic Revival styles. The capitol is known as the "Tower on the Plains" because its 400-foot tall tower is visible from 30 miles away.
The capitol is home to the primary Nebraska executive and judicial offices and Nebraska’s Legislature. The 400-foot domed tower is topped with the 19-foot tall bronze sculpture “The Sower.” The building’s outside stone carvings feature historic events in the evolution of the democratic form of government. There are many chambers with marble columns and vaulted tile ceilings, marble mosaic floors and murals illustrating the social and natural history of Native American and Pioneer cultures of Nebraska.
