Our State Capitol has been the scene of some of the most
significant developments in Georgia's past, and Crimmins and
Farrisee have seamlessly woven into the building's history the many
political and social dramas enacted in and around its hallowed
halls. As rich historically as it is stunning visually, it is hard
to imagine another state capitol history that succeeds as well on
both fronts.--John C. Inscoe "editor of The New Georgia
Encyclopedia"
[A] striking, fully illustrated book . . . The particular strength
of this work lies in the authors' approach to the many narrative
threads that shape the history of the building. . . . Valuable to
conservators and others interested in historic preservation . . . A
well-rounded history of the New South capitol.--Public Historian
