Alabama State Capitol
The Alabama State Capitol, located in Montgomery, Alabama, is a historic building that serves as the seat of government for the state of Alabama. Constructed in 1851, this Greek Revival-style structure has played a significant role in both state and national history. It was here that Jefferson Davis was inaugurated as the President of the Confederate States of America in 1861, and it also served as the initial capital of the Confederacy. The building is noted for its distinctive architecture, including a large central dome and a grand staircase leading to the main entrance. Today, the Alabama State Capitol is a National Historic Landmark and a working government building, housing the offices of the governor and other key state officials.
