The Tennessee State Capitol, located in Nashville, Tennessee, is the home of the Tennessee legislature, and the location of the governor's office. It was designed by Philadelphia architect William Strickland, who modeled it after a Greek Ionic temple. The building was constructed over a period of ten years from 1845 to 1859. Strickland died 5 years before the building's completion and was entombed in its northeast wall. His son, F. W. Strickland, supervised completion of the structure. William Strickland also designed the Downtown Presbyterian Church, formerly known as First Presbyterian Church, Nashville. Image File history File links Tennessee_state_capitol. ...
