Pennsylvania State Capitol

Summary Slides

The Pennsylvania State Capitol by architect Joseph M. Huston is the most elaborate I have seen so far. The project took a team of artisans four years to create what Huston calls a “Palace of Art.” The facility went through a major restoration several decades ago and what can be seen today is truly amazing.
