Album Info:
Our State Capitol is located smack downtown in Honolulu. Most visitors to the islands would probably drive right past it without realizing it is the Capitol Building because there isn't a dome. "Unlike other state capitols modeled after the United States Capitol, the Hawaii State Capitol's distinct architectural features symbolize various natural aspects of Hawaii. Among them: The building is surrounded by a reflecting pool, symbolizing the Pacific Ocean. The two legislative chambers are cone-shaped, symbolizing volcanoes that formed the Hawaiian Islands. The columns around the perimeter of the building have shapes resembling coconut trees. The Capitol is built in an open-air design, allowing sun, wind, and rain to enter; the central rotunda opens to the sky."
