  • The Vermont State House, located in Montpelier, Vermont, is the capitol and seat of Vermont General Assembly. The current Greek Revival structure is the third building on the same site to serve as the State House. It was designed in 1857 and opened in 1859. The Vermont State House has been carefully restored beginning in the early 1980s under the direction of curator David Schütz and the Friends of the Vermont State House, a citizens' advisory committee. The overall style of the building is Neoclassical with Greek Revival details and is furnished in American Empire, Renaissance Revival, and Rococo Revival styles. Some rooms have been restored to represent latter nineteenth century styles including the Aesthetic Movement. The Vermont State House is located on State Street on the western edge of downtown Montpelier, a block north of the Winooski River. Set against a wooded hillside (which was open pasture land at times through the building's history), the building and its distinctive gold leaf dome are easily visible while approaching Montpelier. The small size of Montpelier (the smallest city to serve as capital of a U.S. state) allows for the dome to be visible well before reaching the city limit along U.S. Route 2.
  • Das heutige Vermont State Capitol in Montpelier, Vermont, gilt mit seiner Blattgoldkuppel vor dem Hintergrund des wechselnden Blätterdaches eines nah gelegenen Parks bei vielen Touristen als das hübscheste Regierungsgebäude der Vereinigten Staaten. Ursprünglich tagten die Abgeordneten Vermonts alternierend nach dem Rotationsprinzip in verschiedenen Städten. 1805 befanden die Deputierten, dass es nun Zeit sei, aufgrund der zentralen Lage der Stadt und des preiswerten Baugrundes mit dem Wandern des Regierungssitzes aufzuhören. Auch eine Feuersbrunst, die den beeindruckenden Nachfolgebau von 1838 bis auf die Granitmauern und den Portikus zerstörte, konnte die Vermonter nicht davon abhalten, auf deren Basis das heute bestehende Kapitolsgebäude zu errichten. Der Senatssaal wird nach dem Bekunden vieler Experten als der schönste Innenraum des Staates angesehen.
