A really cool feature about the Kansas Capitol that not a lot of folks know about is that on each floor there are four balconies. Each of the balconies faces a cardinal direction. When you look down from any of the balconies, you will see the letter of the cardinal direction you are facing (N, S, E, or W) but you won't see the letters of the other directions. For example, if you are standing on one of the balconies on the south side of the capitol building and you look down into the rotunda, you will see the letter "N" as you will be facing North.....

To get to the top of the Capitol, you are actually going above that. If you are on the stairs pictured in the OP, what you are seeing in the pic is below you.

Bill Graves, governor at the time had that rotunda fortified and the native Kansa Indian statue mounted on top as his legacy.
I remember the day they put it up and it had to come back down a few hours later because some bolts didn’t line up correctly. I’m not a big fan of the statue. It just doesnt look right. Love the name though. Ad Astra. That capital is a beautiful building and mural of John Brown (insane, murderous MF’er’er that he was) is stunning. Always thought it was a great place to field trip. |

I remember going up there when I was in 6th grade but I don’t remember being scared.
