It is interesting.

They recently built a brand-new Convention Center, from a Frank Lloyd Wright design done in 1959, the year of his death, 47 years ago. Link: http://www.mononaterrace.com/inspired/lifework.html

Chillicothe was the capital of Ohio for three periods: 1803-1809, 1812-1816, and for one day, on the bicentennial of the state, March 1, 2003. (I was in Chillicothe on the last of those occasions.) I doubt if a city has been state capital for less than a day.

I’m not sure that these “capital for a day” events should count. Anyway, I believe that during Voinovich’s governorship, such honours was bestowed on several places around the state, so Chillicothe would be beat out by several cities that never were real capitals.

You may need to change that to the only capitol without a cupola. There is no dome on the Ohio capitol. There also no dome on Oregon’s as noted in garygnu’s link, and the dome atop the capitol in Lincoln Nebraska is almost lost atop the early 20th century skscraper on which it sits.

Honolulu has no dome , either. The capitol is open-aired .

It’s right next door the only former royal palace on US soil.
