Description
A vertical photo of the capitol building in Jefferson City, Missouri, United States. Jefferson City is the capital of the State of Missouri and the 15th most populous city in the state. It is also the county seat of Cole County and the principal city of the Jefferson City Metropolitan area. It is named for Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the US and per Rand McNally, it's America's "Most Beautiful Small Town". Jefferson City is on the northern edge of the Ozark Plateau on the southern side of the Missouri River in a region known as Mid-Missouri. The Missouri State Capitol building houses the legislative and executive branches of the government of the U.S. state of Missouri, as well as the Missouri General Assembly. Located in Jefferson City at 201 West Capitol Avenue, it is the third capitol in the city after the other two were demolished from a fire. The domed building was designed by the New York City architectural firm of Tracy and Swartwout and was completed in 1917. The dome rises 238 feet above ground level and is topped by a bronze statue of Ceres, the Roman goddess of agriculture, rises above the bluffs of the Missouri River and is the first view of Jefferson City for travelers arriving from the north. In addition to the state Senate and House of Representatives, the Capitol also contains offices for the governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, state treasurer, state auditor, and some administrative agencies. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and a contributing property in the Missouri State Capitol Historic District.
