Stories about the art and artisans who helped create the Pennsylvania State Capitol.

"It is the handsomest building I ever saw," said Theodore Roosevelt in his speech inaugurating Pennsylvania's State Capitol Building. Conceived by architect Joseph Huston in 1901, the seat of the Commonwealth's government conjures up images of romantic palazzos in Florence. Visitors to the Capitol find numerous works of art worthy of nobility, earning it the moniker "Palace of Art."
