**Missouri State Capitol Historic District** - National Register of Historic Places Ref # 76001109, date listed 6/18/1976

 

Bounded roughly by Adams, McCarthy, Mulberry Sts. and the Missouri River

 

Jefferson City, MO (Cole County)

 

Jefferson City was organized around the Capitol complex. The topography is a series of river bluffs and rolling hills. The bluff promontories were selected as sites for the Capitol Building and the Governor's Mansion to lend prominence to these important structures. The town was oriented parallel to the Missouri River which at this point flows from northwest to southeast.

 

The district contains more than 100 structures of various ages, designs, and functions. It represents a consolidation of five existing entries on the National Register of Historic Places and the incorporation of adjacent commercial, religious, and governmental structures and grounds to form a historic district at the heart of Missouri's seat of government.

 

Grace Episcopal Church, 217 Adams Street, 1898. The architectural style of this brick structure combines features of the Gothic and Romanesque revivals. It is in good condition. (pg 6) (1)
