About this postcard

A color view of the Ohio State Capitol in Columbus, a Greek Revival building of gray limestone with a low central drum and cupola, seen across a lawn with trees, a monument statue at the left, and an old cannon on the grass. The Ohio state seal is printed in the upper-left corner. The capitol was designed by Henry Walters and built between 1839 and 1861; its broad Doric porticoes and central rotunda make it one of the country's notable Greek Revival statehouses.
