Our Capital City

On our way to the carousel last Saturday, we walked past the State Capitol, which was completed in 1878. It was designed by Richard Upton in High Victorian Gothic style. One of these days I would like to tour the inside.

 

We walked under the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Arch which is dedicated to those who served in the Civil War. The road is now restricted to one-way, one lane because cars and trucks keep hitting and damaging the arch!

We also walked by the recently restored Corning Fountain with its beautiful hart sculpture at the top. In spite of the perfect weather, the park was nearly deserted!
