The building was designed by Francis Keally of the Trowbridge & Livingston architectural firm for a total cost of $2.5 million. The exterior of the four story building is faced with marble from Vermont. The building and the grounds are filled with wonderful pieces of artwork and statues. A virtual tour of the facility and its art are available at the Oregon Blue Book Capitol Tour Web Exhibit.
