Kentucky State Capitol

Kentucky's New State Capitol is the fourth state house used in the commonwealth since statehood in 1792. The first two were destroyed by fire and the third is the Old State Capitol located in downtown Frankfort. Ground was broken in 1904 and the building was completed in time for the 1910 session of the General Assembly to be held in the new capitol. Dedication ceremonies were held the following June amidst great pomp and circumstance. Designed by the distinguished architect Frank Mills Andrews, the total cost of Kentucky's new capitol was $1.8 million.
