The tallest state capitol building in the United States, completed in 1932 under Governor Huey Long. The 34-storey Art Deco tower is an unusual sight in the Louisiana flatlands. The observation deck on the 27th floor gives panoramic views of Baton Rouge and the Mississippi. Inside, the hall contains larger-than-life statues of Louisiana governors. Huey Long was shot in this building in September 1935; bullet holes remain visible in the corridor marble.
