Title
Rhode Island State House Iii
Description

500px provided description: The Rhode Island State House was designed by architects McKim, Mead and White at the same time the firm was working on the 1893 Chicago World's Fair (aka the World's Columbian Exposition). As the principal designer for the State House, McKim eschewed the gaudy ornamentation of capitols designed during the Victorian period for a simplified variation of Sir Christopher Wren's dome for St. Paul's Cathedral. He visually enlarged the dome by adding corner turret domes like St. Peter's Basilica by Michelangelo. The dome is the fourth largest self-supporting marble dome in the world (behind St. Peter?s Basilica in Vatican City, the Minnesota State Capitol and the Taj Mahal).

The State House Beaux-Arts design informed the architecture of new US state capitols for a generation. [#city ,#architecture ,#state ,#marble ,#capitol ,#providence ,#rhode island ,#state house ,#beaux arts ,#neoclassical]
