1 Alabama State Capitol Building in Montgomery, Alabama

The Alabama State Capitol in Montgomery opened in 1851. It was Alabama’s fifth capitol and was built in the Greek Revival style on Goat Hill. It was on this front portico where Jefferson Davis became President of the Confederate States in 1861 and where Martin Luther King staged a protest 105 years later. In the foreground is “Duty Called,” a bronze memorial statue by Branko Medenica that honors fallen police officers. Alabama became the 22nd state on December 14, 1819.
