The dome of Idaho's State Capitol rises 208 feet into the Boise skyline, a classical architectural form prominent among the city's modern multi-story buildings and the landscape's rolling foothills. The Renaissance Revival Capitol is Idaho's most significant historic structure and a building that reflects the state's political, social, and economic history...Over 100 years since conception, the Capitol continues to function as the seat of Idaho's state government, currently housing the executive and legislative branches and numerous state offices, which occupy much of the approximately 111,600 square feet of usable space...The Capitol and its surrounding grounds occupy two blocks of the urban grid, providing grounds proportional to the building's roughly 328-foot north and south facades and its depth of approximately 170 feet established by the east/west axis.
