The New Jersey State House is located on the crowded West State Street in Trenton. So it is hard to see the gold-leaf dome unless you cross the street and stand on the top level of the World War II memorial called “Victory.” The building’s front façade from 1911 is handsome. Yet other parts are oddly shaped because of ten additions and renovations since it opened in 1792. New Jersey became the 3rd state on December 18, 1787.
