ITT we post our state / province / regional governments capitol building. I'll start.
This is the Iowa capitol building located in Des Moines. You can see this building for miles because of the gold leaf that adorns its dome. It was completed in 1886 for $2,873,294.59, or roughly 139,000 oz of Gold. That would be $180 million in 2018 dollars, based on rough market price of gold. Only $3.77 of the budget was unnacounted for in an audit after construction, or about $250 in 2018 dollars.
Shameless self bump.
This is my local courthouse. Budgetarily, it's quite the opposite. They asked for $75,000, were unable to complete the building, and asked for another $50,000 to finish it. By all accounts the construction was a mess, but the building turned out beautiful.
Completed in 1532
Lol forgot pic
Dios mio, the body of the Aztecs wasn't even cold yet
Don't know what a capitol building so I'll just post this disgusting but quite impressive shit
...
Damn, that's sick but what the fuck is this shit?
I like the statues on the roof.
Better than I though it was going to be based on the thumbnail, desu
It's a big commieblock with a medieval tower in the back
It's two buildings

That's only the executive branch tho
Obviously a crane. you don't have them in america?
Honestly whatever you think of Causescu you can't deny that he left a noticable legacy and tourist potential with that huge ass bastard palace
Tbh I'm a rural and suburban retard here so I don't see them often. I didn't even think of that but I see it now.
You could probably stack a pretty decent edifice on it some day to give it some character. For now, I'm sure it does the job and came out cheap as fuck for the value you get back.
it's a joke
I personally like colonial/Georgian brick style architecture, so I think our's looks quite nice. It was also completed in 1797, so I guess its one of the older statehouses still in use.
The capitol building of the great state of Pennsylvania!
The keystone state!
Pictured is the legislative branch for Mexico City's government if we use "capitol" as holding that meaning
going in...
this is a nice one, thanks for showing
At least we have a real nice city hall, styled after some Italian one
please forgive him, not everything American is good at spatially analyzing a photograph
Beautiful interior
Very nice, do you know when it was built?
I'm glad you enjoyed it! The state capital, while a small city, is really nice for that colonial style architecture which has really started to grow on me.
That's and interesting style to choose, do you know why they did it?
I didn’t even know mine looked this cool until now
Guess they thought it looked cool.
They coped the style of town hall in Florence
notice how the senate has occupied our provincial building for 203 years already...
Construction was finished a little after the start of the 20th century, following the destruction of the old one to fire in the 1890s.
The room for the state house
senate
commie block and palace make a surprisingly good combination
I noticed all the Polski town halls have towers associated. What's the deal with that?
houses of parliament
I imagine the original was replaced after being bombed out in the War?
house of lords
house of commons
your regional government meets at a nandos doesn't it?
The capitol building in Pierre, South Dakota
no, the national parliament is in it and the bureaucracy needs so much space that there isn't any room for the province (the original owner) left
We don't have regional governments, councils are shitty buildings.
>Nandos
A bit late mate
It's not a town hall if it doesn't have a tower, duh.
But seriously it's just a fashion, like USA state capitols having domes
Ok, you might have your fun posting some South Dakota or Massachusetts, but British Columbia's provincial building is undoubtedly the godliest, most elegant, most beautiful state building in the world. Try to prove me wrong
protip: you can't
ha, I would miss the right post
meant in reply to
You have just been BTFO
en contraire mon ami
>No gold
Fuck off poorfags
It's nice, but not original. there are very few Romanesque revival statehouses.
BWAHAHAHAHA look upon my leaf you mighty and despair
the Supreme Court of the state, within the same complex
Love my province
festive
bump
Throwing in a few Mexican ones, these are only executive office for the states, legislatures and state courts are on separate buildings
