#3 Capitol Building

Just up the hill from the Salt Lake Temple, the Utah State Capitol Building is one of a handful of buildings that have been used to run the area's government. Richard A. Kletting was the architect and the building was completed in 1916 at a cost of $2,739,538. The renovation cost however came with a much heftier price tag of $260,000,000, which was completed between 2004 and 2008. All of the costs going into this building actually make it the most expensive state capitol in the country.
