00:00:07.450 --> 00:00:09.560
- [Jane Pauley] Following
statehood in 1816,

00:00:09.560 --> 00:00:12.660
Indiana quickly outgrew
its capital in Corydon

00:00:12.660 --> 00:00:16.003
near the Ohio River, and the
1820s, the central location

00:00:16.003 --> 00:00:19.610
of Indianapolis was
chosen as state capital.

00:00:19.610 --> 00:00:21.880
And a new capital building,
resembling the Greek

00:00:21.880 --> 00:00:25.170
Parthenon was completed in 1835.

00:00:25.170 --> 00:00:27.900
In 1888, it was replaced by the larger

00:00:27.900 --> 00:00:31.340
Italian Renaissance-style
capital, still in use today.

00:00:31.340 --> 00:00:34.420
Designed by Indianapolis
architect Edwin May,

00:00:34.420 --> 00:00:38.610
using native Indiana oak and
Indiana limestone throughout.

00:00:38.610 --> 00:00:41.510
The capital houses our
Governor's Office, State Senate,

00:00:41.510 --> 00:00:44.720
House of Representatives, and
the Indiana Supreme Court,

00:00:44.720 --> 00:00:47.930
with its beautiful stained-glass
rotunda shining light

00:00:47.930 --> 00:00:51.120
onto the working of our
nation's 19th state.

00:00:51.120 --> 00:00:54.940
I'm Jane Pauley with this
Indiana Bicentennial Minute.
