State Capitol, Helena, Montana
Antique postcard published circa 1910.
The verse reads: |

I'm in the land of pine and air,
Of mountain squirrel and grizzly bear,
In the land of Bitter Root and Sage Brush too,
Where trout filled streams are not a few.

Montana State Capitol Building.
Chromolithograph Print showing 1896 architect's winning conception of the Montana state capitol building in Helena. Source: Library of Congress. Author: Geo. R. Mann.
The building in this print was never built in Montana. While the dome looks like Minnesota's or Pennsylvania's, the main structure looks like the Arkansas capitol. This design was created for Montana but later used as the basic plan for the Arkansas capitol in Little Rock where George R. Mann was a leading architect.
