LINCOLN | State Capitol | 400 FT / 121 M | 15 FLOORS | 1932
I have to say that I have a bit of a crush on this building. I was lucky enough to attend a wedding last summer in Lincoln and of course made a pilgrimage to see what I consider a masterwork of pre-war American architecture.
The Nebraska State Capitol, designed by Bertram Goodhue, isn't quite the tallest, but it is by far my favorite of our 50 state houses.
Wikipedia give a pretty good history
here
and I don't have much to add to it.
The building is absolutely gorgeous in person and I highly recommend anyone who happens to be in the area to make a trip.
Some photos I took (actually alot of photos):
