State Capitol, Tallahassee, Fla.
Antique postcard published circa 1910.
The old Florida state capitol was first remodeled to include
this dome in 1902. This is the way the structure appears
today, also. For 55 years, it was larger with more wings,
even one in the front.

The original capitol was built from 1839 to 1845. A small cupola was added in 1891. This core is still

Orange Blossom, Florida State Flower
State Capitol, Tallahassee, Florida.
Antique postcard. Copyright 1908 by Williamson-Haffner Co., Denver.

Oh sea kissed Florida, robed in flowers,
So fair are thy perfumed sunlit bowers.
The orange blossoms crown thy brow,
For like a beauteous bride art thou.

This view of the old capitol is rather dark overall. This might be partially due to darkening of the aging paper.

The Florida State Capitol.
Tallahassee, Fla.
Antique postcard published circa 1905 by
Raphael Tuck & Sons. Printed in England.
Tuck's Oilette series of state capitol views all have the red medallion on the blue ribbon with the state seal in the center. They also nearly all have horse-drawn carriages added for interest.

Florida State Capitol, Tallahassee, Fla.
Antique, embossed postcard published circa 1905 by S. Langsdorf & Co. Publishers, New York, N.Y. Made in Germany.
The similarities between this postcard and the Tuck above are many. The view itself is obviously from the same artwork, considering the exact angle of the photo, the carriage, and the trees against the building. Also, the medallion with the state seal is the same.
