Mississippi's Old Capitol: Biography of a Building.  Surely if a single building embodies the history of Mississippi, it is the Old Capitol. (Mississippians began calling it the "Old Capitol" only after 1903 when state government moved to the "New Capitol" several blocks away. In its early years, the building with frontier republican simplicity was called the "state house.") Even today among Mississippians the Old Capitol is perhaps the most recognized structure in the state, and it is regarded with a warmth and fond affection that is denied to the more austere and imposing New Capitol. This is the long-overdue biography of the building and the important events that happened there.
