Florida State Capitol

As of December 9th 2005 I have my last capitol picture. I was beginning to wonder if I was going to have to make a special trip to get Florida's capitol but finally I got to Tallahassee. The Florida capitol has the historic capitol and a new capitol behind it. Florida was the 27th state admitted to the Union on March 3rd 1845
The core of the old capitol was built in 1845 and the modern 22 story skyscraper was begun on 1970 and finished in 1978 here is a good link to the history of the Florida capitol http://fcn.state.fl.us/dms/dbc/ha/Capitol/capitol.html
