Excellent viewpoint of Salt Lake City. Building is usually open for free tours. Interior is beautiful with historical elements and lots of marble! In the Spring the grounds are gorgeous with a walkway of flowering trees.
Inside, the Capitol is divided into two wings, each lined by marble Ionic columns weighing 25,000 pounds. In the center is the 165-foot tall rotunda. The ceiling of the rotunda is beautifully painted with clouds and seagulls, paying tribute to the state bird. Twelve paintings lining the rotunda were a WPA project and painted elsewhere then attached to the walls. The paintings depict scenes from the early history of the state and its settling. Statues in the Capitol include likenesses of Brigham Young and Philo T. Farnsworth (inventor of television).
