North Dakota State Capitol, Art Deco government building in Bismarck, United States.
The North Dakota State Capitol rises 241 feet into the sky, making it the tallest building in North Dakota with its geometric patterns and vertical lines.
After a fire destroyed the original building in 1930, construction of the current North Dakota State Capitol began in 1932 and finished in 1934 for 2 million dollars.
The Capitol grounds include monuments, fossilized Metasequoia trees, and the North Dakota Heritage Center, which exhibits artifacts from state history.
The building contains offices for state government officials, chambers of legislature, and a public cafeteria in the Judicial Wing added in 1981.
The structure earned the nickname 'Skyscraper on the Prairie' due to its height and location among the flat North Dakota landscape.
