This is my favorite picture of the Florida Capitol. As you can see - the Capitol is made up of 2 buildings - the Old Capitol in the center and the new Capitol which is built around it on 3 sides. When they built the new Capitol about 30 years ago - they completely restored the Old Capitol to its 1850's splendor and turned it into a museum.
This picture was taken facing west. Directly behind the Capitol buildings is the Supreme Court where Jeb fixed the 2000 election for his brother George. Beyond that Supreme Court is the State Museum and Library.
About 1/4 mile west of the Capitol is the Florida State University. Nancy cruises by the Capitol on the way to work everyday. Our home is about 1 mile to the south or left of this picture. The street that runs directly in front of the Capitol is Monroe Street.
