Welcome to the Utah State Capitol

For nearly a century, the State Capitol has been one of Utah’s most prominent landmarks. It has been home to state government since its opening in 1916. The Capitol was designed by local architect Richard K. A. Kletting, who made architectural plans including reinforced concrete, elevators and the use of natural light.

From 2004-2008 the Utah State Capitol underwent one of the largest preservation projects to an historic building in the United States. During this preservation, the Capitol was shifted onto a new foundation and devices called base isolators were added to protect the building and its occupants from severe earthquake damage. The Capitol acquired many works of art, artifacts, objects and furnishings to highlight our Utah history.
