Alabama State House, Parliament building in Montgomery, United States.
The Alabama State House is a seven-floor building with a basement that houses both chambers of the state legislature. It also contains government offices and committee rooms spread throughout multiple levels.
The building was originally constructed in 1963 as the Alabama Highway Department facility. In 1985, it was repurposed as the legislative center while the historic Capitol underwent major renovations.
Public galleries inside allow citizens to watch legislative sessions as they happen. This keeps residents connected to the work of their elected officials.
Guided tours are available during weekdays for visitors wanting to explore the legislative chambers and committee rooms. It is helpful to check ahead about session schedules, as these can affect access to certain areas.
A new legislative facility designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects is planned to replace this building by 2027. The move reflects evolving needs for modern government spaces and the state's investment in updated infrastructure.
