On to Bandon general plan drawing
The Alabama State Capitol in Montgomery in circa 1935. Soon after the Oregon Capitol was destroyed by fire in 1935, state officials began research for a replacement. The work eventually included comparing other state capitols and commissioning an architectural design competition. The Capitol Reconstruction Commission later replaced the Oregon State Planning Board as the central body responsible for planning the new state capitol.
