The Capitol’s original 1916 dome light is on display in the first floor west gallery! After decades of exposure to the elements, it was removed and replaced in the early 1990’s. #slc #utstatecapitol #utahstatecapitol #history #utahhistory #tourtuesday #utah

Throwback to artists carefully restoring the Rotunda’s dome mural, “Seagulls”, during the 2004-2008 Capitol restoration. Some seagulls have a six-foot wingspan to be viewed from the Rotunda floor, 165 feet below! #utahstatecapitol #utah #throwbackthursday #history #utahhistory

During the Capitol’s 2004-2008 restoration, the glass floor panels of the Rotunda were restored to allow natural light to filter down into the first floor. This beautiful space is a favorite of many Capitol visitors! #utahstatecapitol #slc #utah #tbt #history #utahhistory

The Capitol is 107 years old today! On this date in 1916, the Utah State Capitol was dedicated before a crowd of nearly 40,000. In Governor Spry’s address, he said, “We expect this building to be one of which will be a joy as long as it might stand.” #utahstatecapitol #uthistory
