摘要

Oklahoma became a state in 1907, and by means of a special session of the Oklahoma legislature and a statewide election on December 16, 1910, legislators and voters overwhelmingly chose to make Oklahoma City rather than Guthrie the capital. The Capitol Commission was formed to oversee the construction of the state capitol there. The noted architecture firm Solomon Layton and S. Wemyss Smith was selected to design the structure, and 8 acres (3.2 ha) of farmland several miles northeast of the downtown area were donated as the site of Oklahoma's new government seat. The plans developed by the architects in 1914 favored a neoclassical design and called for the rein-forced-concrete structure to be crowned with a 140 ft (42.7 m) cast-in-place concrete dome. Unfortunately, World War I had begun, and the money, labor, and materials needed to fully complete the structure were diverted to the war effort. As a stopgap solution, a saucer dome―a cast-in-place concrete dome that, viewed from the interior of the building, gave the appearance of a shallow dome―was put in place. Commission meeting minutes reveal, however, that commissioners considered the idea of constructing the saucer dome from steel to facilitate later demolition. Ground was broken on July 14, 1914, and the state took occupancy of the building on June 30, 1917. The cost of construction had totaled just over $2 million.

Wemyss Smith来设计结构,并向市区东北方几英里处的8英亩(3.2公顷)农田捐赠了俄克拉荷马州新的政府所在地。建筑师在1914年制定的计划采用了新古典主义的设计,并要求在钢筋混凝土结构上加盖140英尺(42.7 m)的现浇混凝土圆顶。不幸的是,第一次世界大战已经开始,完全完成结构所需的金钱,劳动力和材料被转移到了战争中。作为权宜之计,我们安装了一个碟形穹顶-从建筑物内部观看的现浇混凝土穹顶,呈现出一个浅穹顶的外观。然而,委员会会议记录显示,委员们考虑了用钢建造碟形圆顶的想法,以利于日后拆除。土地于1914年7月14日破土动工,国家于1917年6月30日占领了该建筑物。建筑成本总计刚刚超过200万美元。
