Page "Florida State Capitol" Paragraph 1

Sometimes called " The Old Capitol ," the Historic Capitol, built in 1845, was threatened with demolition in the late 1970s when the new capitol building was built.

Having been restored to its 1902-version in 1982, the Historic Capitol is located directly in front of the new Capitol building.

Its restored space includes the Governor's Suite, Supreme Court, House of Representatives and Senate chambers, rotunda, and halls.

Its adapted space contains a museum exhibiting the state's political history, the Florida Historic Capitol Museum, which is managed by the Florida Legislature.

On April 18, 2012, the AIA's Florida Chapter placed the Historic Capitol Building ( Restoration ) on its list of Florida Architecture: 100 Years.

100 Places.
