Nebraska State Capitol
The rotunda area inside the Nebraska State Capitol in Lincoln, Nebraska, was taken on November 21, 2020.
Designed by New York architect Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue in 1920, it was constructed of Indiana limestone from 1922 to 1932. The capitol houses the primary executive and judicial offices of Nebraska and is home to the Nebraska Legislature—the only unicameral state legislature in the United States.
The Nebraska State Capitol's 400-foot tower can be seen up to twenty miles away. It was the first state capitol to incorporate a functional tower into its design. Goodhue stated that "Nebraska is a level country, and its capitol should have some altitude or beacon effect." In 1976, the National Park Service designated the capitol a National Historic Landmark, and in 1997, the Park Service extended the designation to include the capitol grounds, which Ernst H. Herminghaus designed in 1932.
