Oklahoma State Capitol Building

capitol 1The Oklahoma State Capitol building is one of the most iconic buildings in the downtown Oklahoma City area. It cannot be mistaken due to the Native American that is topping the dome or the pillars on the outside that scream “I’m an important building”. The amount of history attached to the building is remarkable. It blows my mind how it was meant to be such a high functioning building, yet also stand out among the rest of the buildings as a classic, timeless building. This building is by far one of the most important buildings in our state. Men and women fight here everyday for rights and what they think is right for our state. The first time I ever actually stepped foot in the capitol instead of just driving by it was during my sophomore year of high school when I went on a visit with this group called Tomorrow’s Leaders. I remember feeling so small. capitol 3All of the designs and artwork in the building were breath taking and ornate. We also got the opportunity to see where the House of Representatives and the Senate hold sessions. That was a cool experience; to stand in the place were laws for our state are debated. While I have never particularly been interested in law or anything other than a science degree I remember thinking to myself that I wouldn’t mind coming to work here everyday.   capitol 2
