Kentucky State Capitol

Frankfort KY

Another capitol under renovation! We were here 5 years ago and saw the dome, but the building was closed to tours. This time, the building is under renovations but it is open for tours.
Facing the mall from that capitol steps.
The inside of the capitol is full of beautiful marble.
In preparation for the extensive interior renovations, the House and Senate furniture has been moved out. They are meeting in a different building.
