Abstract:

Encompassing nearly two city blocks and costing upwards of $5 million dollars, the new state house of North Carolina will house the General Assembly, beginning in 1963. Designed by New York architect, Edward Durell Stone, North Carolina is the first state to own its own capitol building specifically designed for use by the legislature.
