The style of the West Virginia State Capitol is Colonial
Revival, Italian Renaissance. Beside the main capitol, there are two wings
which lie perpendicular to the east and west ends of the building, forming an
open-ended quadrangle centred on a fountain, one of three in the plaza. The two
wings are connected by low causeways on the basement level. The Governor's
mansion and buildings housing a cultural centre as well as several state
departments and a parking garage, all occupy the area of the plaza.
The grounds include several statues, including
Abraham Lincoln on the front plaza and Stonewall Jackson, a native of the
state, near the southeast corner of the plaza
