A capitol in the United States usually houses the legislative assembly and offices of the state governors, but this is not the case in all states. The Arizona State Capitol is now a museum, the legislature and the governor's office are in nearby buildings. Alabama , Nevada, and North Carolina legislatures also sit in nearby buildings, but the governor's offices are still in the Capitol. In addition to Arizona, only Virginia does not have the governor's office in the Capitol, although Delaware , Ohio , Michigan and Vermont use it for ceremonial purposes only.
Eight states named their Capitol State House : Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and Vermont. In Alabama, legislature meets in the State House. Indiana and Ohio have statehouses, and the remaining 40 states have facilities called the Capitol.
