Around Ohio
One of the more important buildings in Columbus, the Ohio Statehouse serves as the most visible representation of the Ohio government. In addition, it exhibits some outstanding architecture and décor.
The majority of statehouses in the U.S. flaunt some kind of central dome or rotunda, in many shapes and sizes. The Ohio Statehouse centers around a rotunda, with a stained-glass representation of the Ohio State Seal at the very top of the cupola. During my visit, the rotunda's floorspace was set up with chairs for a wedding reception.
