Lonely Planet review for Historic Capitol
The 1902 Historic Capitol, adorned by candy-striped awnings and topped with a reproduction of the original glass dome, is as grand as its successor is uninviting. It now houses the Florida Legislative Research Center and Museum, including a restored House of Representatives chamber and governors’ reception area, plenty of governors’ portraits, and exhibits on immigration, state development and the infamous 2000 US presidential election, with displays such as the equally infamous butterfly ballot, now enclosed in glass.
