North Dakota State Capitol

North Dakota State Capitol

The North Dakota State Capitol is the house of government of the U.S. state of North Dakota. The Capitol, a 21-story tower, is in Bismarck at 600 East Boulevard Avenue, on a 160-acre (65 ha) campus that also houses many other government buildings and is the tallest habitable building in North Dakota. It is built in the Art Deco style. The original North Dakota capitol building was built in 1883-84, in a Romanesque Revival style made popular by the famous American architect H.H. Richardson. A stately structure, it caught fire and was completely destroyed in 1930.
