Beautiful Structure Overlooking Providence
议会大厦的点评
点评：I recently visited the state of Rhode Island for the first time Labor Day, and I wanted to see its Capitol because these structures reflect the way people in the state wish to be seen. Unfortunately, on holidays, the building is closed; however, we were able to enjoy the exterior and beautiful grounds.
The structure is an incredible white marble facade including its impressive dome which is the heaviest dome in the United States. While a little smaller than the US Capitol and other states, it is impressively situated on a hill overlooking downtown Providence and can be seen from all over the city. It is also surrounded by lush grove of green trees that provide great shade as you walk around.
Interesting facts are that the current State House was finished in 1901 and not until then did the Rhode Island state government have a permanent home. Prior the current building, the capitol was rotated, common in southern New England, between Providence and Newport and in colonial times, the 5 RI county seats all share the capitol. Lastly, the Capitol is topped by a gold statue known as "The independent Man", a tribute to the independence of colonial founder, Roger Williams. Currently it is under renovation including new gold plating.

翻译：我最近在劳动节第一次访问了罗德岛州，我想看看它的国会大厦，因为这些建筑反映了该州人民希望被看到的样子。不幸的是，在节假日，该建筑关闭；然而，我们能够欣赏到它的外观和美丽的庭院。
该建筑有一个令人难以置信的白色大理石外墙，包括其令人印象深刻的圆顶，它是美国最重的圆顶。虽然它比美国国会大厦和其他州的国会大厦略小，但它令人印象深刻地坐落在俯瞰普罗维登斯市中心的一座小山上，从城市的各个角落都可以看到。它周围还有茂密的绿树，当你四处走动时，它们可以提供很好的遮荫。
有趣的事实是，目前的州议会大厦于 1901 年完工，直到那时罗德岛州政府才有了永久的办公地点。在目前的建筑之前，国会大厦是轮换的，这在新英格兰南部很常见，在普罗维登斯和纽波特之间，在殖民时期，罗德岛的 5 个县城都共用国会大厦。最后，国会大厦顶部有一座名为“独立人”的金色雕像，以纪念殖民地创始人罗杰·威廉姆斯的独立精神。目前，该雕像正在翻修，包括重新镀金。
