Lewis & Clark at Three Forks

Edgar S. Paxson’s Paintings of the

Corps of Discovery
 The capitol was constructed in 1922-32 and
was designed by Bertram Grosvenor
Goodhue, one of America's foremost
architects. The structure evolved through an
elaborate competition that was widely
publicized in journals and newspapers.
Goodhue's design incorporated a 400-foot
tower as the major architectural feature,
producing a modernistic skyscraper. The
building is rich in decorative art and
symbolism and demonstrates the skills of
sculptor Lee Lawrie and Dr. Hartley Burr
Alexander, a professor of philosophy at the
University of Nebraska. The capitol, located
in Lincoln, is internationally recognized as a
building of outstanding architectural
distinction.
