Louisiana State Capitol Building From The Gound Up
Uploaded: October 08, 2008
The architects used symbolism throughout the design of the building. As the square tower rises, it is cut away to an octagon at the 22nd floor. At this point four allegorical winged figures guard the corners and they represent Law, Science, Philosophy and Art.
