The New York State Capitol is one of the few capitol buildings in the United States without an eye-catching tower or dome, but that was not the original intention. Throughout the building’s 32 years of construction (1867-1899), three different architects worked on the design — Thomas Fuller, Leopold Eidlitz, and Isaac Perry — with each one proposing a different design of a dome and/or tower.
This exhibition celebrates the changes throughout history in this unique space, through images and objects.
