The Idaho State Capitol in Boise is the home of the government of the U.S. state of Idaho.[2]
Construction of the first part of the new state capitol building began in the summer of 1905, fifteen years after Idaho became a state. The final cost of the building was just over $2 million. It was completed fifteen years later in 1920.[3]
The now historic landmark building was included in the Boise Capitol Area District listing on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on May 12, 1976.[4]
