Indiana State Capitol Building

Today we will visit the Indiana State Capitol Building
The current Indiana capitol building that graces downtown Indianapolis is the fifth capitol to house the legislature in the state. The act authorizing the construction of the building to replace the previous capitol passed the Indiana legislature on March 4, 1877.
The first capitol building, called the Red House, met in Vincennes until the capital moved to Corydon. The legislature used the Corydon building until it moved to Indianapolis in 1825. Legislature used the Marion County Courthouse as the third capital until workers completed construction of the fourth capitol building in 1835. The legislature met in this building until it became unsafe in 1877 and the legislature moved to a state office building constructed in 1865. The legislature met in this office building from 1877 until the workers completed the current capital in 1888.
