The current building is the third capitol building for the State of Connecticut since the American Revolution. The design is in the Eastlake style, with French and Gothic Revival styled elements.
I have a collection of Capitol Building images - who knows whether I'll ever get to see them all; but if I'm passing through a state and the capital city isn't too far away, I usually take a detour for a few pictures.

During a quick overnight business trip to Madison, I arrived in time to visit the Capitol on a warm summer evening. A symphony orchestra was conducting a concert on the lawns and there were throngs of people everywhere.

It was late afternoon by the time we arrived at the Capitol Building in Providence, and quite cold, so I just jumped out of the car and took a few quick snaps. It really bugged me that those stone pillars at street level are not symmetrically placed in front of the building ! Also, they could have moved the lift away from the building and parked it somewhere else :)

We toured the Minnesota Capitol Building in St. Paul recently and were amazed at the beautiful architecture. Legislators were on hiatus, so we were free to wander around and see the House, Senate and Judicial chambers. One more addition to my Capitol collection !
