The Stanley Mosk Building

The Court Room of the California Supreme Court and U.S Third District Court of Appeals

While I was in Sacramento (California's State Capitol), I went inside the Stanley Mosk Library and Courts Building and it was beautiful. The building houses the California Supreme Court, the U.S. Third District Court of Appeals and the California State Library. The outside and the inside were stunning:

The Stanley Mosk Building is beautiful and one of the nicest state buildings I have ever been in.
