DescriptionNorth Carolina State Capitol, Raleigh, NC (28221598188).jpg
The North Carolina State Capitol Building is among the oldest still under the official designation of "State Capitol" in the United States, and is a building that displays just how far the state has come since its construction. Built in the Greek Revival style, the building was constructed in the center of Union Square in downtown Raleigh in 1840, with a stone facade, a low copper dome, and two stone porticos being the defining features of the building. In use until the 1960s, the building had outlived its usefulness and belonged to a state that had outgrown its size, as North Carolina's population had begun its massive growth trajectory it continues on to this day by that point. Today, the State Capitol remains at the heart of Raleigh, but no longer sees many functions of the state government take place within it, those are now done in many state office buildings on nearby blocks. Rather, it is more of a symbolic structure, and is used partially as a museum of the history of the state government.
