Kansas State Capitol - Topeka, Kansas

This beautiful domed building positively gleams following a 12 year, $330 million restoration project. Rich wood, brilliant copper and acres of marble provide the perfect setting for an impressive collection of frescos, murals and sculptures. A hand operated cage elevator services - installed in 1923 - is still in service today. If you want to visit the observation deck at the top of the dome though, you'll need to walk - and there are 296 steps to climb.
