Wisconsin State Capitol
Capitol building of the U.S. state of Wisconsin
Wisconsin State Capitol
The Wisconsin State Capitol, located in Madison, Wisconsin, houses both chambers of the Wisconsin Legislature along with the Wisconsin Supreme Court and the Office of the Governor. Completed in 1917, the building is the fifth to serve as the Wisconsin capitol since the first territorial legislature convened in 1836 and the third building since Wisconsin was granted statehood in 1848. Designed by George B. Post & Sons and advised by Daniel Burnham, the building exemplifies the Beaux-Arts style popular in American public architecture in the two decades following the Chicago World's Fair. The Wisconsin State Capitol is the tallest building in Madison, a distinction that has been preserved by a state law that prohibits buildings within 1 mi (1.6 km) of the Capitol from being taller than the 187 feet (57 m) columns surrounding the dome. The Capitol is located at the southwestern end of the Madison Isthmus in downtown Madison, bordered by streets that make up the Capitol Square.
