Flat Bobby Visits The Arizona Capitol Museum, originally uploaded by Foxicat.

Flat Bobby told me he thought this was a beautiful building and he was glad to be visiting.

The Capitol is constructed of native stone, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Dedicated in 1901, it was first home to the territorial government; when Arizona entered the union as the 48th state on 2/14/12, the building became the sate Capitol. Arizona completed the contiguous United States. Construction began on the building in 1899 and was completed in 1901. The outside elevations of the building used Malapai from Camelback Mountain in the foundation, Granite from the Salt River Mountains for the ground floor, and tuff stone quarried near Kirkland for the 2nd through 4th floor.
