Jackson, Mississippi, USA

By the early 20th century, many old state houses were being replaced by new ones, the majority of which (like Mississippi's) were modeled after the soon-to-be 100 year old U.S. capitol. It's amazing there weren't some new architectural ideas around by that time! Anyway, happy birthday Mississippi. Statehood was granted on this date in 1817. [2018]
