Utah State Capitol

For nearly a century, the State Capitol has been one of Utah’s most recognizeable landmarks. Designed by local architect Richard K. A. Kletting, this building has been the home of the state government since its opening in 1916. The building is a replica of the United States Capitol,  just on a smaller scale. Each year, thousands of people visit the Capitol to witness its modern magnificence and historic significance.
