Political leanings aside, I couldn't deny the sense of pride I felt to see such a monumental structure standing gloriously as it basked in the light. Politics is more divisive these days than ever. Yet, I think most who would wander the halls of this Renaissance Revival Style statehouse, couldn't help but respect and appreciate the skill and passion that built them.
