Florida Historic Capitol:
Capitol Center Complex
Like a Jewel Worn by the New
Providing a new setting for the State
capitol, Frederick Halback successfully
linked the restored 1902 beaux arts
State capitol with the1978 neoclassicism
complex.
Joined by wide angled pedestrian
entrances from the House and Senate, a
grand civic space between the old and
new provides the citizens of Florida the
opportunity to embrace the freedoms of
assembly and speech.
The complex serves as a setting for
State ceremonies, historic elements and
landscapes. Included are roadway, parking
and landscape improvements that unify
the streetscape with the downtown area.
