The builders of Michigan's Capitol expressed their feelings for the state though the monumental architecture of a grand dome that continues to reign over one of the most beautiful buildings in the Midwest. Almost every wall, ceiling, and floor of Michigan's Capitol sparkles with surfaces that attest to a living and vibrant monument, bridging the past and present. The interior of the building is an especially awesome sight to behold.
The blossoms of Springtime add much to the beauty of the Capitol dome with all of its towering height, its immense proportions, and its sublime magnificence. The Spring is one of the most beautiful seasons of the year at the State Capitol. Since 1879, the Capitol Dome has been a beacon and symbol of state government. It holds a unique place in the history of public building architecture. Most legislative buildings are not nearly as ornate as Michigan's Capitol. Artists, artisans, and other experts replicated original designs and applied decorative paint to almost every wall and ceiling of the building.
