Lincoln, Neb."
"The Capitol of Nebraska, designed by the late
Bertram Goodhue, is one of the most dignified and
imposing public buildings that has been erected in
this country. It is gravely simple; its style is
essentially its own; it perfectly fulfills its
purposes, and it symbolizes to Nebraskans and to
succeeding generations the people's idea of
government, of statehood."
