Delaware Legislative Hall, Capitol building in Dover, United States.
Delaware Legislative Hall is a state capitol building in Dover with Georgian Revival architecture constructed from handmade brick. The interior displays traditional 18th-century design elements throughout the structure.
The building was completed in 1933 and replaced the Old State House as Delaware's primary government facility during a period of institutional growth. This move marked a significant step in modernizing the state's administrative infrastructure.
The Hall of Governors displays portraits of Delaware's state leaders spanning from early colonial times to the present. These images show the people who have shaped the state's political life over centuries.
Visitors can take guided tours Monday through Friday between 10 AM and 1 PM with government identification. Access is provided through a security checkpoint on the west side of the building.
The building was designed drawing from elements of the Colony House in Newport, Rhode Island, selected by architect Norman M. Isham in 1932. This inspiration appears in specific architectural details that recall early American colonial traditions.
