New York State Capitol Building Tour

Last Monday we joined our district for an activity at the New York State Capitol Building in downtown Albany.
One of the impressive features of the tour is the million-dollar staircase pictured below.
The building, completed in 1899 at a cost of $25 million (worth approximately half a billion current dollars), was the most expensive government building of its time.

It was an interesting way to spend an afternoon.
