We were recently impressed with the ornately impressive state capitol building in Helena, Montana. This is especially true because of our long residence in Arizona. The Arizona State Capitol is less than impressive in fact, it is downright dowdy. It is hardly a tourist attraction. Around the United States, state capitol buildings vary from impressive to insignificant. At one time, Arizona had the opportunity to have an impressive state capital. Back in 1957, Frank Lloyd Wright made a design proposal for a dramatically different state capital building for Arizona. Unfortunately, the design was rejected out of hand.
The Montana State Capitol building was built out of time when the mining industry was booming. Unfortunately, Arizona never had the same motivation.
