点评:The Montana State Capitol building, which was started in 1896 and completed in 1902, with wings added later. It’s a very impressive structure, with murals, paintings, and decorative tiles, particularly in the rotunda. There are also several statues, including one of Jeanette Rankin, congressional representative from Montana, and the only person to vote against going to war against Japan after Pearl Harbor. Another was of former Senator and Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield and his wife. The other one of interest was Judy Martz, Montana's first female governor (2001-2005). Murals and paintings were mainly of Montana historical people and events.
Outside, the grounds are beautifully landscaped.
We were there right at the close of the day and were able to wander around without lots of people to get in our pictures! Great timing.
翻译:蒙大拿州议会大厦始建于1896年,1902年竣工,后来增建了侧翼。这座建筑令人印象深刻,壁画、绘画和装饰瓷砖琳琅满目,尤其是在圆形大厅。此外,还有几座雕像,其中包括珍妮特·兰金的雕像。兰金是蒙大拿州的国会议员,也是珍珠港事件后唯一一位投票反对对日开战的人。另一座雕像是前参议员兼参议院多数党领袖迈克·曼斯菲尔德和他的妻子。另外一座值得关注的雕像是朱迪·马茨,她是蒙大拿州首位女州长(2001-2005年)。壁画和绘画主要描绘的是蒙大拿州的历史人物和事件。
外部的庭院风景优美。
我们到达时正值一天快结束的时候,可以随意闲逛,而且没有太多人挤进照片!时机把握得真好。
