Corydon, Indiana

John and I visited Indiana's first state capitol last weekend. Above is the historic Kintner House Inn where we stayed. It was built in 1873 as a hotel. Corydon was Indiana's capitol from 1816-1825.
This is the original capitol building that housed the Indiana House of Representatives, the Senate, and the Indiana Supreme Court.
Here is the inside of the capitol building. The first floor first served as the chamber for the house of representatives, and later as Corydon's official court house until the 1920's.

This is the second floor of the building, which housed the state senate chamber and the supreme court across the hall.
