History

The building is Nebraska's third state capitol building. Both the first and second, built in 1867 and 1889 respectively, had structural problems. Preceding the Lincoln state capitol buildings were two capitols of the Nebraska Territory in Omaha, both built in the 1850s, before Nebraska was admitted to the Union in 1867. Nebraska Territory was a historic, organized territory of the United States from May 30, 1854 until March 1, 1867 when Nebraska became the 37th U.S. state. ... “Omaha” redirects here. ...

The legislature authorized the Capitol Commission to be responsible for the construction of the building. The commission included the governor, the state engineer, and three members appointed by the governor. The appointed members were W. E. Hardy of Lincoln, W. H. Thompson of Grand Island, and Walter W. Head of Omaha. Samuel R. McKelvie, Charles W. Bryan, Adam McMullen and Arthur J. Weaver each chaired the commission as governor. [1] Walter William Head (born December 18, 1877, Adrian, Illinois) was an American banker and insurance executive. ...

The architectural competition program was written by Omaha architect Thomas R. Kimball, who was then president of the AIA. The competition guidelines were innovative and progressive because they did not define plan, style, or material for the building. The program did specify, however, that they wanted an architect who would assemble a team (including sculpture, painter, and landscapist) to create a unified vision. There were entries from well-known architectural firms, including McKim, Mead, and White. However, the commission was immediately drawn to Goodhue’s innovative submission. His design drew on the Classical principles of austerity, abstract geometrical form, and hierarchical arrangements of parts, but broke away from the columns, pediment, and dome formula.

The capitol is often seen as a turning point in Goodhue’s career and the first major expression of what has been called his "freely interpreted classical style." The cross-axial plan is similar to a traditional Catholic church or cathedral. The building's four wings radiate from a central domed rotunda, architecturally separating the branches of government. The unarticulated windows and crisp flat surfaces anticipate the modern skyscraper. It is also the first U.S. state capitol with usable tower space.

On April 15, 1922 Governor Samuel R. McKelvie broke ground and construction began. The cost for the 122 m (400 ft.) Indiana limestone structure came in just under the $10 million budget. The funds were secured through a special capitol levy tax.

Because of its somewhat phallic nature, the structure is most commonly nicknamed as The Penis of the Plains [2][3] , although others use the less common The Tower of the Plains[4].

The sculptural elements of the building were designed by sculptor Lee Lawrie. Hartley Burr Alexander, a Lincoln native and professor of philosophy, served as "thematic consultant." It is his influence that led Goodhue to make American Indian symbolism an integral part of the ornament. Alexander wanted the capitol to be, in part, a memorial to native tribes that populated Nebraska before the pioneers. Image File history File links Metadata No higher resolution available. ...

The building has an elaborate iconographic program. The large square base represents the flat plains of Nebraska. The vertical tower symbolizes the dreams and aspirations of the pioneers. The massive balustrade flanking the main stairway is ornamented with bison inscribed with Native American ritual passages. Over the entrance is a gilded frieze showing the progress of the pioneers. Other exterior sculptural ornaments include a series of friezes depicting the history of law from the Ten Commandments to a celebration of Nebraska's statehood. Ten great lawgivers, Minos, Hammurabi, Moses, Akhnaton, Solon, Solomon, Julius Caesar, Justinian I, Charlemagne, and Napoleon are depicted emerging from pylonic masses. The eight ideals of culture represented by Pentaour (history), Ezekial (vision), Socrates (reason), Marcus Aurelius (statecraft), St. John the Apostle (faith), Louis IX (chivalry), Isaac Newton (science), and Abraham Lincoln (liberty) are also represented.

The tower is crowned by a golden dome with a 6 m (19 ft.) sculpture of "The Sower," by Lawrie, which faces northwest (most of Nebraska is north and west of Lincoln). The dome is symbolic of the sun, and its reflective surface changes color with the weather. The frieze around the drum depicts thunderbirds, the American Indian symbol for rain and life. Therefore, the golden dome, sower, and drum represent sun and rain, agriculture and productivity. On a more symbolic level, they are an homage to the pioneers who created productive farmland and propagated civilization.

Hildreth Meiere, a New York-based tile and mosaic designer, was responsible for much of the original interior design. She collaborated closely with the Guastavino Company of New York to create the elaborate tile vaulting, which is both structural and decorative. Buffaloes, corn, wheat, sunflowers, and wild native animals motifs are repeated throughout the building’s ornament. The theme of Meiere's work is nature and the cultivation of the prairie. The doors to the East and West Chambers, designed by Meiere and executed by Keats Lorenz of Lincoln, are a product of master craftsmanship. The doors weigh over 340 kg (750 lb.) each, and took Lorenze more than six months to carve. They commemorate the cultural contributions of Native Americans and pioneers.
