Capitol Views

Capitol Views

Most folks know of Richard Kletting's work for the design of the Utah State Capitol.

I have been honored to be able to docent at the Capitol for a few years now.
I love being able to have visitors looks for his signature style incorporated
into the classic design.

At first his winning design was a little more complicated than we see today.

A simpler, cleaner look emerged in his 1912 rendering. Closer to the finished product.

Utah has a spectacular spot on Capitol Hill for our state house.

Any time you get a chance, visit the Capitol and grounds.
