1907 Topeka Kansas State Capitol Building
1907 vintage lithograph postcard of the State Capitol in Topeka, Kansas.
The gold dome of the Kansas State Capitol Building in Topeka is one of its most striking features. Completed in 1903, the dome is adorned with 22-karat gold leaf, giving it a radiant appearance that shines brightly in sunlight.
Standing at 296 feet tall, it is the tallest state capitol dome in the United States. The dome is topped with a statue called "Ad Astra," which means "to the stars" in Latin. This statue represents Kansas and serves as a symbol of hope and aspiration.
The Capitol's architecture combines elements of neoclassical design, and the golden dome not only enhances its beauty but also signifies the state’s prosperity and commitment to democracy.
