The base of the Idaho State Capitol in Boise is granite but the rest is gray, local sandstone that resembles stacked logs. A bronze eagle stands at the 208 foot peak of the terra cotta dome. This is the south, main facade with a vehicle entrance called a porte-cochere at the base of the portico. Inside, one quarter of the 190,000 square feet is decorated with red, green, gray or black carved marble. The capitol was finished 22 years after Idaho became the 43rd state on July 3, 1890.
