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.
The Gilbert Stuart Birthplace and Museum is a small museum located in Saunderstown, Rhode Island, USA. On December 3, 1755, Gilbert Stuart, a famous American portraitist of the 18th and 19th centuries, was born in the colonial-era house located on the property.[2] The museum consists of the 1750 house in which Stuart was born, an operational snuff mill, an operational grist mill, a mill pond, streams, a fish ladder, nature trails, an herb garden, and a Welcome Center and gift shop.
