Watercolor of Ohio Statehouse by Fanning The Ohio Statehouse's "tremendous structural power presents a quality many state capitols do not have. This building does not mimic. It is neither a sham temple, nor a gilded opera house. It is a rich expression of the Greek-Revival that suits the national Statehouse brand of public architecture in a unique way. Sharing in these aesthetic qualities are only a few other state capitols..."

--William Seale
Architectural Historian



Stained-glass Seal of the State of Ohio The Statehouse Education & Visitors Center interprets the state capitol's history and significance for the public, and guides school groups in their study of government, citizenship, and Ohio history.

The Statehouse complex represents one of America's finest examples of Greek Revival civic architecture, and is one of the oldest working statehouses in the United States. Visitors can see where and how the vital business of state government is conducted, view magnificent architectural and artistic treasures, and learn more about Ohio through guided tours, educational displays, and interactive touch-screen kiosks.
