Oregon's capital building, located in the heart of Salem on Court street, houses the state legislature,
and the offices of the governor, secretary and treasurer. Built in 1938, this is the third house to Oregon's state government; the two former capital buildings were destroyed by fire in 1855, the other in 1935.
