The Montana State Capitol is the state capitol of the U.S. state of Montana. It houses the Montana State Legislature and is located in the state capital of Helena at 1301 East Sixth Avenue. The building was constructed between 1896 and 1902 with wing-annexes added between 1909 and 1912. ==History==
A design competition for the building was conducted in 1896. The commission selected a design by George R. Mann as the winner. In 1897, after it was found that the Commission was planning to scam money from the building project, it was disbanded and a second Capitol Commission was convened. The new Commission abandoned Mann's plan as being too costly, and had a second design competition, won by Charles Emlen Bell and John Hackett Kent. While Mann's building was never built in Montana, it was selected later as the basic design for the Arkansas State Capitol.〔(History of Helena blog ), quoting Mr. Kirby Lambert, Curator of Art at the Montana Historical Society, retrieved 2 March 2010.〕 The winning design by Bell and Kent had been altered already during the construction phase, when in 1901 the commission asked for the structure to be made more imposing by increasing the height of the dome. Kent opposed the changes, as his original low spherical dome was meant to be "pure Greek", but Bell advocated the commission's request.〔(History of Helena blog ), quoting Historic Structure Report: Montana State Capitol Building by Jim McDonald, 1981, retrieved 2 March 2010.〕 Between 1909 and 1912, the building has been extended by addition of two new wings on the eastern and western sides.〔(History of Helena blog ), retrieved 2 March 2010.〕
