Missouri State Capitol Building, Jefferson City

I visited the State Capitol Building in Jefferson City one day in August of 1996, and took a few photographs. It was modeled after the United States Capitol Building in Washington, D. C. To get more information about Missouri's Capitol Building, please follow the link in the Landmarks I've Visited section.

A fountain on the front grounds.


A statue of Thomas Jefferson is featured prominently on the front steps of the Capitol Building.


This statue is off to the right side; I do not remember the significance.


The back of the Capitol Building is graced by beautiful terraced gardens and a waterfall leading to a reflecting pool.
