Review:
The Alaska State Capitol Building is the seat of Alaska's legislative and executive branches of government, located in lovely state capital Juneau. The building, which dates back to 1931, is one of only 12 United States capitol buildings to not feature a dome in its architecture. It stretches six stories tall and is constructed with a gorgeous facade of Indiana limestone, featuring a four-column Tokeen marble portico and brick-faced reinforced walls. Inside, many of the building's interior spaces have been returned to their original 1930s appearance, showcasing exhibits such as a Hall of Governors portrait series and photography by famed Juneau artists Percy Pond and Lloyd Winter. Clay murals within the building's lobby, named Harvest of the Land and Sea, depict regional hunting and fishing activities. Visitors can embark on self-guided tours of the building at any time it is open for business hours throughout the week.
