The government complex in Tallahassee pairs a 22-story modern tower, built in 1977, with the restored Historic Capitol at its base. The older building, with its distinctive candy-striped awnings and copper dome, dates to 1845 and now houses a museum of Florida's political history. The tower's top-floor observation deck offers panoramic views across the capital and nearby piney landscape of the Panhandle. The pairing of a nineteenth-century statehouse with a stark modernist slab makes the complex a distinctive marker on the city skyline.
