What People Are Saying About State Capitol Building

In Short
Towering hilltop at over 200 feet, this classic Greek Ionic temple is one of Music City's most memorable monuments. Designed by famed Philadelphia architect William Strickland--who is also entombed here--and completed in 1859, this enduring structure still functions as the seat of the state government. Public tours of the building itself and the extensive, landscaped grounds are a continual crowd favorite. President James K. Polk's tomb can be found here, as well.
