When completed in 1840, North Carolinians called the state capitol “a noble monument.” Today, North Carolina’s capitol building is considered one of the nation’s finest and best-preserved Greek revival public buildings. Lining the walls are busts and plaques honoring the people and events that have shaped in state’s history. 1 E. Edenton St., Raleigh, 919-733-4994, www.ncstatecapitol.org...
