Two of them met a sudden and unexpected end--destruction by fire. William Willson, a pioneer of Salem, donated some acres from his Donation Land Claim for a state capitol. The first, built in 1855, may have been torched in a desperate fight to move the capitol to Corvallis. A second capitol, built in 1873, was patterned after the US Capitol in Washington, DC. This capitol, adorned with a beautiful copper-clad dome, faced west toward the Willamette River. On April 25, 1935, a fire started in a basement storage area. It quickly spread to the whole structure, and within four hours, the entire thing lay in ruins. After an exhaustive design process, a new capitol was built in the midst of the Great Depression, topped with a golden pioneer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51927961764128,"sku":"NEW1467130257","price":26.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/oregons-capitol-buildings-images-of-america-1467130257","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
