Dimensions Of The Original Capitol Building Of North Dakota

The original Capitol Building of North Dakota, built during the year of 1883, was not as tall or modern as the more recently built capital building, so when it burned down on December 28 of 1930, it was considered more of an opportunity than a loss. It was constructed five years before North Dakota’s statehood and stood for fair 47 years before burning to the ground. The Original Capitol Building of North Dakota was constructed to house the government of the state and to serve as a meeting place for government officials. The dimensions of the Original Capitol Building and its constructor are unknown.
Many people eventually grew tired with the building, and wanted a better, more modern building to serve as the Capitol Building.
