Liste der Capitols in den Vereinigten Staaten

CPacker: /* Gallery of 50 state capitols */ changed photo

This is a '''list of [[U.S. state|state]] capitols (buildings) in the [[United States]]''', not to be confused with a [[list of state capitals in the United States|list of state capitals]] (the cities where they are located).

A capitol typically contains the meeting place for its state's [[State legislature (United States)|legislature]] and offices for the state's [[Governor#United States|governor]], though this is not true in every state. The [[Arizona State Capitol]] is now strictly a museum; the legislature and the governor's office are both in nearby buildings. The legislatures of [[Alabama]], [[Nevada]] and [[North Carolina]] also meet in other nearby buildings, but their governor's offices remain in the capitol. Other than Arizona, only [[Virginia]] does not have its governor's office in the state capitol, though in [[Delaware]], [[Ohio]] & [[Vermont]] the office there is for ceremonial use only. (These do not include [[Idaho]], whose legislature and governor are [[as of 2008]] temporarily displaced from the capitol due to renovations.)

In 10 states--[[Indiana]], [[Iowa]], [[Kentucky]], [[Nebraska]], [[North Dakota]], [[Oklahoma]] (both [[Oklahoma Supreme Court|civil]] and [[Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals|criminal]]), [[Pennsylvania]] (one of three sites), [[South Dakota]], [[West Virginia]], and [[Wisconsin]]--the state's [[State supreme court|highest court]] also routinely meets in the capitol. The other 40 states have separate buildings for their highest courts, though in [[Minnesota]] and [[Utah]] the high court also holds ceremonial meetings at the capitol.

'''BOK Tower''', formerly One Williams Center, is a [[skyscraper]] in downtown [[Tulsa, Oklahoma|Tulsa]], [[Oklahoma]]. At 203 m (667 ft) in height, the 52-story tower is the tallest building in any of the five "Plains States": Oklahoma, [[Kansas]], [[Nebraska]], [[North Dakota]], and [[South Dakota]], as well as the surrounding states of [[Missouri]], [[Arkansas]] and [[New Mexico]].<ref name="Tallest Buildings by US State">{{cite web | date=[[2006-10-06]] | url=http://www.allaboutskyscrapers.com/tallest_state.html| title= Tallest Buildings by US State | first=Richie | last=Gill | publisher=All About Skyscrapers| accessdate=2007-04-14}}</ref> It was built in [[1975]] and designed by [[Minoru Yamasaki]] & Associates, the same architect who designed the [[World Trade Center]] in [[New York]]. This structure is very similar to the WTC towers in appearance and construction. BOK Tower's lobby has marble walls and wall hangings which have a noted similarity to the decor in the former WTC.

The remaining $10 million is being used to fix damage from a flood in December.
