View of the Old Capitol - Tallahassee, Florida

The Florida State Capitol is located in Tallahassee, Florida. The first capitol was originally built in 1826, but it was never completed. This building was built in 1845 and was at risk of being demolished in the late 1970s after the new Capitol building was built. It was saved thanks to citizens' actions. The "Old Capitol" building was kept and restored to house the Governor's suite, Supreme Court, House of Representatives and Senate chambers. It also houses the Florida Historic Capitol Museum that displays the political history of the state of Florida. After the addition of the new building, the building is considered the third largest Capitol building in the United States.
