The statehouse is recognized as one of the early republic's most famous architectural achievements. The Greek Revival Doric structural features and proportions offer the impression that the first State legislature deserves permanence, beauty, and grandeur. Ohio Statehouse provides guided tours for school groups. The statehouse grounds contain two other buildings, the Judiciary Annex or Senate Building and the Atrium; the three are collectively directed to as the Ohio Statehouse into the present day. Convenient underground parking is available. The statehouse's outstanding architecture has earned it several landmark designations, including as a National Historic Landmark. The construction sees about 500,000 visitors per year.”
