Notice the sprawling Pennsylvania State Capitol Complex, spread across more than 50 acres of downtown Harrisburg. Its centerpiece is the Pennsylvania State Capitol, constructed in 1902–1906 to a design by Joseph Miller Huston; the capitol is a nationally recognized example of Beaux Arts architecture, famed for its interior opulence and artwork. Around you the complex includes a landscaped park environment with monuments, memorials, and other government buildings.
The complex sits in central downtown Harrisburg, four blocks east of the Susquehanna River, and is bounded by Forster Street to the north, North 7th Street to the east, Walnut Street to the south, and North 3rd Street to the west. Most of this area, bounded on the north by North Street, was recognized in 2013 as a National Historic Landmark District and hailed as a fully realized example of the City Beautiful movement landscape and planning design of Arnold Brunner. On the east side of the capitol you can spot the East Wing, a 1987 extension that greatly expands the building's capacity.
Four blocks east of the Susquehanna, Huston's Beaux Arts capitol and Brunner's landscaped park still hold the center of downtown Harrisburg.
