Caption: "State Capitol - Calif, " c. 1920. View of the California State Capitol Building. Much of the building is obscured by trees, but the dome is visible. Designed by M.F. Butler, California's State Capitol Building experienced significant delays while under construction. Crews broke ground on December 4, 1856, but the Legislature did not occupy the building until 1869, and the building was not fully completed until 1874.
