In 1910, another Boston architect, C. Henri Desmond, enlarged the edifice to double its original size. It is truly one of Maine's architectural treasures. The dome rises 185 feet. Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom, stands atop the dome. The Capitol Building, the center of State Government, houses both the Executive and Legislative branches.
Tours are available year round.
