In our trip back from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, we stopped in Harrisburg for a wander about and to stretch our legs.
Harrisburg is the PA State Capital and has an interesting Capital area.
|
The State Capital with a bright green cupola - designed in Beaux Arts style with lots of art. We could not go in, because there was a wedding planed - but we peaked in and the interior is beautiful |
|
The statue to the right of the main entrance. |
|
The back of the Capital looking down State Street. Cool. |
|
These are winged griffons stop the pillars. Very deco. |
The back end - where the long street bridge flanked by Assyrian / Deco Griffons looks like it belongs in a European Capital for a Victory parade, not a 1906 designed capital of the Keystone state, but whatever. It was nifty to look at.
