Missouri State Capitol
Historic Site · Jefferson City, Missouri
The third capitol built in Jefferson City, completed in 1917 after the second burned when lightning struck the dome, standing on a bluff directly above the Missouri River. Inside it holds one of the more remarkable pieces of American public art: the House Lounge, painted by Thomas Hart Benton in 1936 with a mural of Missouri life that included slavery, lynching, Jesse James and a Kansas City political boss, and which the legislature that commissioned it very nearly had removed.
