点评:The New York State Capitol is an amazing work of art! It has exquisite carving everywhere you look. It was began in the post civil war area in 1867, and was completed in 1900 when Theodore Roosevelt declared it completed. Two Us Presidents, Grover Cleveland and Theodore Roosevelt were involved in building the NY capitol. It looks like a castle from the outside and is just as impressive from the inside.
I recommend the guided tour. It last an hour and is packed with historic facts about the capitol and people that built it. Our tour guide’s name was Michael and he did a great job with information and projection of his voice. My husband has difficulty walking so he took us to an elevator instead of using the great staircase.
Parking near the Capitol can be a challenge so we parked in the MVP parking garage and were about a block from the Capitol.
I highly recommend seeing this Capitol as it is a monument to the American Gilded Age.
翻译:纽约州议会大厦是一件令人惊叹的艺术杰作!到处都可见精美的雕刻。它始建于1867年南北战争之后,直到1900年由西奥多·罗斯福宣布竣工。两位美国总统——格罗弗·克利夫兰和西奥多·罗斯福都曾参与纽约州议会大厦的建设。从外观看它宛如一座城堡,内部同样令人叹为观止。我强烈推荐参加导览游览。整个参观过程持续一小时,期间介绍了许多关于国会大厦及其建造者的历史知识。我们的导游名叫迈克尔,他不仅讲解生动,声音也洪亮有力。我丈夫走路不太方便,因此导游带我们乘坐电梯,而没有走那壮观的楼梯。
在国会大厦附近停车有些困难,所以我们把车停在了MVP停车场,那里离国会大厦仅一个街区之遥。我极力推荐参观这座国会大厦,它是美国镀金时代的象征。
