Utah State Capitol
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Utah State Capitol is located on Capitol Hill, overlooking downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. It is the home of the Utah State Legislature, the Governor of Utah and the Lieutenant Governor of Utah.
Construction on the capitol began on December 26, 1912 and was dedicated on October 9, 1916. The original construction cost was $2,739,538.00. In 2004 the capitol closed for an extensive restoration and seismic upgrade. The capitol is expected to reopen in 2008. Utah Territorial Statehouse in Filmore was the territory's first capitol building, although it was only used for that purpose for one year. Starting in 1866 the Salt Lake City Council Hall was the meeting place for the Utah Territorial legislature. When statehood was granted in 1896 until the present Utah State Capitol was completed, the Salt Lake City and County Building served as the state's first capitol building.
