THE CAPITOL of NORTH CAROLINA at RALEIGH
The State Capitol, started in 1833 and finished in
1840, replaces the first state house which burned
in 1831. Originally this building housed all of North
Carolina's State Government; as the state grew, new
buildings were built around Capitol Square; the
State Dept. Building, etc. The new Legislative Build-
ing, one block north of the capitol, is the only build-
ing in the United States devoted exclusively to the
law making branch of government. This view
from the east grounds shows "Three Presidents North
Carolina Gave to the Nation," Andrew Jackson,
James K. Polk, and Andrew Johnson.
