One of the best surviving examples of Greek Revival architecture, the capitol
has changed very little since its opening. The stonework, ornamental plaster and ironwork,
legislative chamber furniture and all but one of the mantelpieces are original. One North
Carolinian said of the capitol in 1841, “this political Temple, the Capitol of North Carolina,
will vie with any legislative building in the Union, if not the world.” 919-733-4994 General hours: Guided tours offered Saturdays 11 and 2, Sundays at 2. Closed on regular holidays. Reservations required for groups of ten or more. Groups of this size without a reservation may be turned away. Map to the Capitol Building in Raleigh Have you been to this capitol before?
