The capitol, completed in 1910, boasts extensive Italian terrazzo tiles in its flooring, all laid by hand. The 66 Italian artisans who laid the tiles were each given a blue tile to place within the building as their signature stones; only 55 have ever been found.

The South Dakota stamp is not monitored by any staff members at the capitol. It is usually located in the rotunda on the second floor, near the front doors. On occasion, however, the stamp has been used to vandalize the building. In these instances, the stamp is sequestered but may be brought out upon asking. If you DON'T see the stamp in the capitol rotunda, contact Marla at 605-773-3765 and she will meet you to provide the stamp during your capitol visit.
