Minnesota Capital Building - 1998

While I was working in Iowa, I took a trip up to Minneapolis/St Paul.  Minnesota's Capital building is there, and I stopped to snap a few pictures...

The MN Capital Building is built like many others in the US... Patterned after the US Capital Building.

Like most capital buildings around the country, the structure was built, and decorated for a considerable amount of money... something that could not be done today.
The sculptures on and around the building were quite ornate, and very well done.

Buddy, and architect friend of mine who lives in Iowa, came along to view the structure of the building... he likes that sort of thing.
This is where the "real" work gets done.  This is a fairly modern building, which explains the "plain-ness" of it...
I've been to Minneapolis a couple of times... each time, I swing by the grand building, and take another look.
