Caption: "State Capitol Building. Des Moines, Iowa. Sept. 26, 1934." Construction began on Iowa's State Capitol Building, designed by John C. Cochrane and Alfred H. Piquenard, in 1871, but was not completed until 1886. Mifflin E. Bell, an assistant to Piquenard, redesigned the central dome after Piquenard's death in 1876. Damage to the building's exterior over the years prompted a massive renovation project, begun in 1983 and completed in 2001.
