House of Representatives

The State Capitol in Jackson, Mississippi, is the third capitol building constructed in the city, with its completion dating back to 1903. Designed by architect Theodore Link from St. Louis, Missouri, the building was erected on the site of the old state penitentiary and financed through back taxes owed by the Illinois Central Railroad.

This historic structure reflects the architectural significance of its era and serves as a central hub for government operations in Mississippi. The previous capitol buildings were completed in 1822 and 1833, marking the evolution of the state's governance over the years.
