The central dome rises 180 feet above ground level. The exterior walls of the Capitol are Indiana limestone and the base and stairs are Georgia granite. The drum of the main dome is a limestone-colored terra cotta and is surrounded by a limestone colonnade. The eagle that stands atop is eight feet tall and 15 feet wide, made of copper, and gilded with gold leaf. Inside the Capitol are more than ten types of marble from other states and countries and eight types of art marble, known as scagliola.

The second floor also houses the old Supreme Court and the old State Library.
