Images of Boise, Idaho - Boise Capitol Reflection



Boise Capitol Reflection

The major external construction material used for the Idaho Capitol Building was sandstone, obtained from a quarry on Table Rock just east of Boise that the state purchased for use on the capitol. Labor in cutting and moving the stone came from inmates at the state penitentiary, which was just below the quarry. More info on the Idaho Public Television website.
