This is a list of U.S. state capitols (buildings) in the United States, not to be confused with a list of state capitals (the cities where they are located).
A capitol typically contains the meeting place for its state's legislature and offices for the state's governor, though this is not true in every state. The Arizona State Capitol is now strictly a museum; the legislature and the governor's office are both in nearby buildings. The legislatures of Alabama, Nevada and North Carolina also meet in other nearby buildings, but their governor's offices remain in the capitol. Other than Arizona, only Virginia does not have its governor's office in the state capitol, though in Delaware, Ohio, Michigan & Vermont, the office there is for ceremonial use only.
Eight states named their capitols State Houses: Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and Vermont, while the Alabama legislature meets in the State House. Indiana and Ohio have Statehouses and the remaining 40 states have facilities named State Capitol.
