Nashville - Tennessee State Capitol
|
|
The Tennessee State Capitol was built on the most prominent hill in downtown Nashville. It is overshadowed by large buildings. The building was designed in a simple neoclassical style by William Strickland. It is capped with a temple-like lantern rather than a dome. It was started in 1845 and is mostly made of Tennessee marble.
On the grounds are statues of Tennessee-born Presidents Andrew Jackson & Andrew Johnson.
The capitol is the anchor of the Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park which links the legislature with downtown which traces Tennessee history and geography and contains a Greek theater.
