The Alabama State Capitol




From wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alabama_State_Capitol


"The Alabama State Capitol, also known as First Confederate Capitol, is located on Goat Hill in Montgomery, Alabama. The structure was built in 1851. The building also served as the Capitol of the Confederacy in 1861, and a commemorative brass marker in the shape of a six-pointed star is set at the precise location (on the top step, to the right of the door, between the middle columns) where Jefferson Davis stood on February 18, 1861, to take his oath of office as first (and only) President of the Confederate States of America."






The model was created by the Google 3D Warehouse. You can see the model in Google Earth here.
