T.S.C.

T.S.C. = Tennessee State Capitol haha


We have got some fun facts and fun pictures about/of the beautiful State Capitol!


Did you know?...
* it is the home of the Tennessee legislature and the location of the governor's office
* it is one of only eleven state capitols (along with DelawareHawaii,LouisianaNew MexicoNew YorkNorth DakotaOhioOregonAlaska and Virginia) that does not feature a dome!
                      This picture was taken by our wedding photographer at our reception :)


* The State Capitol was designed by renowned Philadelphia architect William Strickland, who modeled it after a Greek Ionic temple. Strickland died five years before the building's completion and was entombed in its northeast wall!!
*Both the interior and exterior are built with limestone from a quarry about 1 mile (1.6 km) from the site. 


We were so excited to get to have our wedding reception at the Capitol. It's a beautiful building!
