Our last field trip in West Virginia was a bit farther afield. Tim and I like to visit state capitol buildings but had somehow never made the time to visit West Virginia’s. To rectify that omission, we drove to Charleston to tour the capitol.
Designed by Cass Gilbert, the structure was dedicated in 1932. It is said that Gilbert liked the design of the interior so well that he reused part of the design for the United States Supreme Court.
Almost all state capitol buildings are impressive structures, and this one was no exception. I always love to look up inside the domes, and I was quite impressed by the huge crystal chandelier.
