Ohio Capitol Building
Located at the heart of Columbus on what is called Capitol Square, the Statehouse building is a fine example of Greek Revival architecture. A recent total renovation of the historic landmark has restored the limestone building back to it's original configuration, right down to the lamps.
The Statehouse houses both the Senate and House of Representatives, as well as the Governors office. The building is open to the public, and guided tours are available for groups of 10 or more.
Several of the major areas such as the Rotunda are open for public viewing during regular hours, unless an event is taking place such as a wedding. There is no charge for touring the Capitol Building.
Periodically, the statehouse provides special behind the scenes tours. These tours usually book up within a day or two after being announced.
The Crypt located on the lower level has a cafeteria, gift shop and museum.
