Salt Lake City - Capitol Hill

At the north end of State Street, on Capitol Hill, which rises to a height of 2,95ft/90m above the city, is the Utah State Capitol, a Neo-Classical domed building 2,85ft/87m high which houses the House of Representatives, Senate and Supreme Court of Utah. It has a particularly fine interior, with its marble rotunda, the Golden Room (the Governor's reception room) and a small exhibition on the history and economy of Utah.

The Council Hall, to the south of the present Capitol, was originally City Hall and the first State Capitol. It now houses the Utah Travel and State Information Center.

The small hall was inadequate for the Salt lake City and in 1863 a new City Hall was planned.

The Marmalade Historic District is located on Capitol Hill in Salt Lake City. The area still contains many of the original pioneer homes.

The District was named because early street names reflected the fruit-bearing plants and trees imported and planted there by early residents.
