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.
we think your lawn is always slightly bigger than your desire to mow it. Or in this case, much much bigger.
Second floor dining area of the Gas Lamp Grille. It seems there wasn't enough of a lineup at the front door to justify opening the second floor.
Newport, USA ~ August 16, 2010.
A labor day weekend in Rhode Island, while the weather wasn't sunny the sites were still fantastic. I love the lazy beachy days on the coast.

The Elms foi a residência de verão do Sr. e Sra. Edward Julius Berwind de Filadélfia e Nova York. Berwind fez fortuna na indústria do carvão.
Inspirado pelo Château d'Asnières, perto de Paris, o arquiteto Horace Trumbauer projetou esta digna propriedade rural (1901) para o "rei do carvão" Edward J. Berwind.
O interior grandioso foi o cenário de uma bola de inauguração que foi o destaque da temporada.
Numerosas plantas exóticas foram encomendadas para decorar a propriedade para a ocasião e os macacos foram libertados para passear livremente pelo terreno.
Bristol - a lovely little place! My hotel was the beige building directly behind the tall ship. Great location.
