The South Carolina State House is in the Greek Revival style, first designed by John R. Niernsee. Construction began on the building in 1851 and was suspended in 1865 as Sherman's Union Army marched through Columbia. After many years of delay the building was completed in 1903. The rotunda is decorated with a painted masterpiece, and is really two domes: an inner which is seen by visitors on the inside and the main copper dome from the outside. The South Carolina State House is also known for its distinctive copper dome which adorns its roof. The building has six bronze stars to mark hits from Sherman's cannons.
