| - Das Old State Capitol, auch Old State House genannt, war das dritte State Capitol von Kentucky. Die Pläne stammen von dem jungen Architekten Gideon Shryock. Er wählte den Greek-Revival-Stil, als Brückenschlag zwischen der jungen Republik Kentucky und den demokratischen Idealen des antiken Griechenlands. Der Athene-Tempel in Priene diente als Vorbild. Das Tympanon ruht auf sechs ionischen Säulen. Die wurden aus regionalem Kalkstein gearbeitet. Entsprechend der fensterlosen Bauweise griechischer Tempel, ist auch die Hauptfassade des Old State Capitol fensterlos. Eine Laterne auf dem Dach sorgt für natürliches Licht um Vestibül, das zudem durch seine freitragende, zweiläufige Treppe auffällt. (de)

| - Das Old State Capitol, auch Old State House genannt, war das dritte State Capitol von Kentucky. Die Pläne stammen von dem jungen Architekten Gideon Shryock. Er wählte den Greek-Revival-Stil, als Brückenschlag zwischen der jungen Republik Kentucky und den demokratischen Idealen des antiken Griechenlands. Der Athene-Tempel in Priene diente als Vorbild. Das Tympanon ruht auf sechs ionischen Säulen. Die wurden aus regionalem Kalkstein gearbeitet. Entsprechend der fensterlosen Bauweise griechischer Tempel, ist auch die Hauptfassade des Old State Capitol fensterlos. Eine Laterne auf dem Dach sorgt für natürliches Licht um Vestibül, das zudem durch seine freitragende, zweiläufige Treppe auffällt. Traurige Berühmtheit erlangte das Old State Capitol, als am 30. Januar 1900 ein Attentat auf den gerade erst gewählten Gouverneur William Goebel verübt wurde, dessen Verletzungen er wenige Tage später erlag. Heute erinnert daran eine Gedenktafel im Boden an der Stelle, an der Goebel zu Boden ging. Das Gebäude genügte zunehmend nicht mehr den Ansprüchen der Regierung. 1904 wurde der Grundstein für das neue Kentucky State Capitol gelegt, welches 1910 in gebührendem Maße seiner Aufgabe übergeben werden konnte. Das Old State Capitol ist seit 1920 Sitz der Kentucky Historical Society und wurde am 11. März 1971 als Baudenkmal in das National Register of Historic Places aufgenommen. Am 11. November des gleichen Jahres erhielt das Gebäude den Status einer National Historic Landmark. Heute dient das Old State Capitol als Museum. (de)
- The Old State Capitol, also known as Old Statehouse, was the third capitol of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The building is located in the Kentucky capital city of Frankfort and served as home of the Kentucky General Assembly from 1830 to 1910. The current Kentucky State Capitol was built in 1910. The Old State Capitol has served as a museum and the home of the Kentucky Historical Society since 1920. It has been restored to its American Civil War era appearance and was designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark in 1971 for its exceptional Greek Revival architecture, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Kentucky legislature voted for its construction in 1827. The building was designed in the Greek Revival style by Gideon Shryock, an early Lexington, Kentucky architect. The Old State Capitol was his first building and he was only twenty-five years old. Shryock chose the Greek Revival style to symbolically link Kentucky, a young republic, with ancient Greece, the prototype of popular democratic government. He wanted the front of the building to duplicate the Temple of Minerva Polias at Priene. Greek temples had no windows, therefore the front of the capitol is devoid of fenestration. Other architectural features include a self-supporting stone stairway and a domed lantern above it to bring in sunlight. A bitterly contested 1899 state governor election came to a climax when Democratic claimant William Goebel of Covington, Kentucky was assassinated at the capitol on his way to be inaugurated. A plaque reading "William Goebel fell here, Jan. 30th, 1900" exists near the front entrance of the building. (en)
