Rhode Island's "new" state capitol, completed in 1904.
Fun facts about the building:
Fourth-largest self-supporting marble dome in the whole wide world. (Top three: St. Peter's Basilica, Minnesota state capitol, Taj Mahal. I've been to all of those.)
In the filming of the movie Amistad, the Rhode Island statehouse filled in for the U.S. Capitol. (It's the background of a scene where Morgan Freeman visits J.Q. Adams in Washington, DC in the movie. My previous post -- Old Connecticut state capitol -- is where the Amistad trials began in 1839.)
On the upper levels of this building, there are four distinct areas: House chamber, Senate chamber, former Governor's greeting room (not its official name), and a photogenic law library -- all pictured here.
Also on site, an original charter from the British crown (King Charles II, 1663) is in a museum downstairs. A few cannon on site (not presented here), and other interesting artifacts in the museum.
This is a wonderful building to tour, and Providence is, over all, a darn good town, albeit pricey.
NEWPORT, RI -- Students, faculty and staff assigned to the U.S. Naval War College participate in the President's Cup Volleyball tournament on board Naval Station Newport, Rhode Island May 17, 2023.
Taking a road trip from the cottages I explored Jamestown and Point Judith. Finding their lighthouses and exploring the area around them. I loved all the sea cliff walls and trails available at both. The park at Beavertail is not to be missed nor is the Fisherman Memorial next to Point Judith Lighthouse.
A delegation from Rhode Island is pictured here with representatives from the Baltimore Medical Center in Baltimore, Maryland during a tour of the facilities there.
