[edit] Let's make this pretty

Take a look at featured article Michigan State Capitol. Gosh but that's a good looking article. (And, a similar history of having a succession of capitol buildings.) I want to this article to improve to that level. I can work on the writing, but I'm no expert on images. If anyone knows how and wants to put the work into acquiring the proper permissions to include photos of the earlier capitol buildings, especially some of those dramatic photos of the the 1935 fire, that would help a lot.

Note to self: besides some of the pieces of the columns from the 1935 capitol residing on the capitol grounds and at the history museum, there are still a couple in Mill Creek behind the Safeway. Since this is "original research", need to find a reliable source that concurs with this info. Katr67 17:38, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
