The Indiana Statehouse is a mixture of the Italian Renaissance Revival and NeoGreco styles. Central circular drum tower capped with dome and cupola. 235 feet tall. The Indiana State Capital was moved to Indiananpolis in 1825 from Corydon. A Capitol building was completed in 1835, but was razed in 1878 to make way for construction of the current structure. The building was renovated in 1988 under the direction of the Cooler Group, Inc.

Indiana's first state capitol building was built in
1813 by Dennis Pennington, and was constructed with
limestone from a nearby quarry. It was used as the
capitol building of the Indiana Territory from 1813
to 1816, then as
a state capitol building from 1816 to 1825. In 1825,
the state capital was moved to Indianapolis, and the
Old Capitol Building in Corydon was used as the
Harrison County Courthouse until 1929. It has
since been restored with period furnishings as a
national historic site.
