Historic Capitol

Photograph of the Historic Capitol placed within the grounds of the new capitol.

Restored to its 1902 version in 1982, the Historic Capitol is located in front of the new Capitol facility. Its restored space includes the Governor's Suite; Supreme Court, House of Representatives and Senate chambers; rotunda; and halls. Its adapted space contains a museum exhibits displaying the state's political history. The 1902 Capitol building was the last statehouse in which all of Florida's political business was housed under one roof. A decade later the Florida Supreme Court moved into its own facility. Florida's current Supreme Court building is located to the west of the Capitol Complex.
