January 23, 2015--The State Capitol, always worth a visit. The building took 15 years to construct and was finished in 1886; a major restoration was finished in Fall 2001. Also below is the statue Pioneers of the Territory and the view down Locust Street. The weather was unseasonably warm; notice the absence of snow.
