Comments:	Kentucky's Capitol is the fourth permanent building since statehood in 1792. It was built to replace the earlier 1830 capitol, still standing in downtown Frankfort, which had become inadequate to accommodate the growing state government. Ground was broken in 1904 and on June 2, 1910, Kentucky's New Capitol was dedicated. The elegance of the Capitol's interior was largely achieved by the generous use of white Georgia marble, gray Tennessee marble and dark green Italian marble. On axis with the rotunda, the grand corridors feature 36 imposing columns of Vermont granite and delicate art glass skylights. The exterior of the Capitol is faced in Indiana limestone and Vermont granite. <p> Hours of operation: Monday through Friday 8:00 am to 4:30 pm, Saturday 10am to 2pm (through October 31, 2023)?, Closed Sunday.
