Unlike most state capitol buildings with their usual domes, Nebraska’s center of government is a spire.

Built in 1932 with massive limestone blocks and rising more than 400 feet into the sky, the structure stands in defiance of the flat prairie landscape surrounding it. Built over 10 years, from 1922 to 1932, the Nebraska Capitol blends a range of architectural elements and themes, including Greek, Egyptian, Byzantine and Art Deco.

The American Institute of Architects declared it the fourth-ranking modern architectural wonder of the world.

The same optimism that led Nebraskans to build such a singular Capitol nearly 75 years ago still permeates state government today in the Cornhusker State. Despite having a static population that is only growing older and a farm-based economy that continues to shrink, Nebraska plans to grow with the 21st century, proclaimed Gov. Dave Heineman, and IT will be the catalyst.
