The Idaho State Capitol stands at the head of Capitol Boulevard, its sandstone dome rising above downtown Boise. Built between 1905 and 1920 and clad in local sandstone from Table Rock, the building is one of the finest examples of neoclassical architecture in the Pacific Northwest.
The interior is worth a look: the rotunda features four types of marble brought from different corners of the world, and a replica of a golden eagle sits atop the dome interior. Self-guided tours are free; guided tours are available on weekdays. The grounds are well-maintained and a popular lunchtime spot for state workers and visitors alike.
