The building is constructed from white Georgia marble and features the fourth-largest self-supported marble dome in the world. The grand columns and steps leading up to the entrance, along with the American flags flying atop flagpoles, add to its majestic appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompleted in 1904, the Rhode Island State House was one of the first public buildings to use electricity, making it a pioneer in modern infrastructure. The building has served as the seat of Rhode Island’s government.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an early divided back postcard, with a space on the front for messages. It used to be illegal to write anything but the address on the back of a postcard, so the public was adjusting to the divided back due to the 1907 change in regulations. This publisher provided space on the front as well as on the back; an indication of this transition in postal card history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42823834239165,"sku":"PC282","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/4818\/1181\/files\/pc282_a.jpg?v=1781928122","url":"https:\/\/www.getluckyvintage.com\/products\/1907-state-capitol-house-providence-ri-postcard","provider":"Get Lucky Vintage ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
