Title: State Capitol, Montgomery, Alabama
Creator(s): Highsmith, Carol M., 1946-, photographer
Date Created/Published: 2010 February 22.
Notes:
The first Capitol building was built in 1847, and was destroyed by fire in 1849. The current State Capitol was built on the previous Capitol's foundations, and was completed in 1851. The building has grown over time with an east wing added to the rear in 1885, a south wing in 1906, a matching north wing in 1912, and along with a complete renovation to the whole building a modern addition to the rear in 1992. The building also served as the Capitol of the Confederacy in 1861, and a commemorative brass marker in the shape of a six-pointed star is set at the precise location where Jefferson Davis stood on February 18, 1861, to take his oath of office as first (and only) President of the Confederate States of America.
