The Louisiana State Capitol in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is a remarkable example of Art Deco architecture and stands as the tallest capitol building in the United States at 450 feet with 34 floors. Completed in 1932 at the behest of then-Governor Huey P. Long, the building is not only a hub for the state's government but also a significant historical site. It features a grand staircase with notable inscriptions, a rich interior filled with symbolic artwork, and an observation deck that offers panoramic views of the city and the Mississippi River.
