Delaware State Capitol

The Delaware General Assembly meets in the Legislative Hall in Dover

The Delaware State Capitol houses the Delaware General Assembly . Commonly known as the Legislative Hall , the building is located on Court Street in Dover , the capital of Delaware. Although it looks like a colonial building, the building wasn't completed until the Great Depression in 1933. Until then, the government met in the Old State House , which is now used as a museum.

The State House and the former legislative chambers of the state have been restored to their original state. The Chamber of the House of Representatives contains portraits by Thomas Sully of Commodore Jacob Jones and Commodore Thomas Macdonough, heroes of Delaware who served in the War of 1812 .

Visitors can tour the State Capitol by prior arrangement. Guided tours are subject to staff availability.
