The North Dakota State Capitol is the house of government of the U.S. state of North Dakota. The Capitol, a 21-story tower, is in Bismarck at 600 East Boulevard Avenue, on a 160-acre campus that also houses many other government buildings and is the tallest habitable building in North Dakota. The original North Dakota capitol building was built in 1883-84, in a Romanesque Revival style made popular by the famous American architect H.H. Richardson. A stately structure, it caught fire and was completely destroyed in 1930.
