The North Carolina State House was built from 1792 to 1796 as the state capitol for North Carolina. It was located at Union Square in the state capital, Raleigh, in Wake County.[1][2] The building was extensively renovated in the neoclassical style by William Nichols, the state architect, from 1820 to 1824.[3] On December 24, 1821, the statue of George Washington by Antonio Canova was displayed in the rotunda.[4] Both were destroyed by fire in 1831.[1]
