  • New Jersey State House Public Art Tour
    New Jersey State House Public Art Tour njstatehousetours.org About The Art Tour In 2018, we celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Public Buildings Arts Inclusion Act of 1978. The Act stipulates that up to 1.5% of construction costs on new or renovated State buildings may be allocated for commissioned artwork at that site. The program’s goal is to enhance the quality and aesthetic effect of State buildings by incorporating works of art into the architectural design. To mark the anniversary, the Tour Office created a special Art Tour to highlight some of the collection of public art in the State House and Annex. “ It is my hope that the viewer will gain a fresh perspective and a sense of civic pride. “ – J. KENNETH LEAP Special artwork was commissioned during the construction of the State House Annex from 1927-31. Newer works credited to the PuBlic Buildings Arts Inclusion Act were installed during the 1990s when the Annex was renovated for legislative committee rooms, committee chair offices, and legislative staff. The building previously housed the Judicial Branch, State Museum, and State LiBrary. During the renovation, new office space was added to the south wing of the capitol. Former New Jersey State Museum Our Art Tour begins in the west wing of the State House Annex. In 1929, this wing housed the State Museum, commissioned by the New Jersey Legislature in 1895 to collect and exhibit specimens in natural history and archeology. Remnants of art created for the Museum space remain. In 1992, new artworks were blended with the old as part of the Public Arts Inclusion Act.

A major remodel in 1909–1910 enlarged the wings of the building and replaced the building’s original dome with a more elongated one. New Hampshire State House, 107 North Main Street, Concord, NH 03303 Year completed**: 1819 Architectural style: Greek Revival FYI: The stately eagle installed on top of the New Hampshire State House’s dome may look gold, but it’s actually brass. The original was removed for preservation and is on display at the New Hampshire Historical Society. A new, gold-leafed eagle was put in its place around 1969. Vermont State House, 115 State Street, Montpelier, VT 05633 Year completed**: 1859 Architectural style: Renaissance Revival FYI: The senate chamber still has its original furnishings, plus working gas lamps, and a “gasolier”—a gaslight chandelier that was rediscovered elsewhere in 1979, refurbished, and reinstalled in the chamber. New York State Capitol, State St. and Washington Ave, Albany, NY 12224 Year completed**: 1899 Architectural style: Italian Renaissance/French Renaissance/Romanesque FYI: The Western staircase inside New York’s capitol has been dubbed the “Million Dollar Staircase,” because it cost more than a million dollars to build—in the late-1800s, no less.

Thomas Edison State College, a pioneer in providing nontraditional higher education for adults, has established a campus on historic ground surrounding New Jersey’s State House. Dr. George A Pruitt Dear Reader: President, Thomas Edison State College Thomas Edison State College moved to Trenton in 1979 and established its headquarters in the Kelsey Building, built in 1911 and one of the architectural beauties of the State House Historic District. Since that time, the College has been active in conserving the historic buildings of downtown Trenton to preserve the essence of the city's legendary past and stimulate economic development. From the Kelsey Building on West State Street, our campus expanded westward as we restored the five mid-19th-century brick townhouses adjoining the Kelsey Building and leased the early-20th-century Kuser Mansion in the next block. These buildings, all listed on the National Register of Historic Places, are complemented by the modern Academic Center and Canal Banks buildings, both located a block north, on West Hanover Street. The New Jersey State Library, an affiliate of Thomas Edison State College, occupies an historic site at the middle of the State House block.
