About this postcard

The Indiana State Capitol stands behind a broad lawn, its central dome topped by a lantern and flag. Visitors stroll across the grounds and along a curving walkway in front of the Neoclassical limestone building. Completed in 1888, the capitol was designed by Edwin May and Adolph Scherrer and houses the Indiana General Assembly, the governor's office, and the state supreme court. The scene presents the building as a civic landmark in Indianapolis, with the dome rising above the public grounds.
