Colorado State Capitol Denver CO – August 2021 Beautiful capitol, lots of construction around the building, and the downtown is filthy. The building is gray on the main levels, then blue at the base of the gold dome. Statue on the capitol grounds of Indian killing a buffalo. Statue of President Abraham Lincoln has been removed, and its pedestal has been covered up. Disgusting. The rotunda. House of Representatives chamber. Senate chamber. The interior of the capitol is beautiful, but it is kind of tight. There is not much wide-open area. For instance, there is not much room between the columns and the central railings. It was close like this throughout the building. Standing at exactly 5,280 feet above sea level! One mile high! Me too! Denver skyline from the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. Couldn’t see the mountains because of hazy sky.
