On 2nd May 2007, we took a walking tour in Madison, Wisconsin around the University of Wisconsin at Madison campus. Madison is a beautiful city. When we were there, we felt that the city was alive and energetic. Just a short walk, we reached the Wisconsin State Capitol. This Capitol was completed in 1917. It is 284.4 feet high from the ground floor to the top of the statue on the dome and just three feet and one-half inch shorter than the Capitol in DC. We think that the difference in height must be intentional.The exterior of this Capitol is constructed with White Bethel Vermont granite which is considered to be the hardest and most durable stone using in construction.
