Idaho State Capitol

The Idaho State Capitol is the state capitol building of the U.S. state of Idaho. Housing the Idaho Legislature, it is located in the state capital of Boise. The main building was completed by 1913.

[edit] Previous Capitol buildings

The original brick Capitol building, located between Sixth and Seventh and Jefferson and State streets, was built in 1886. Four years later, Idaho was named a state. Idaho's new government soon outgrew the Capitol, and in 1905 a new building was commissioned.

[edit] Current Building

Local sandstone from east Boise's Tablerock Quarry was used as well as convict labor. The sandstone and marble Capitol was completed in 1920, costing tax payers a little over $2 million.
