Corndog At The Capitol: A corndog silhouette provides a unique perspective to the old state Capitol and the new Capitol building that rises skyward in the background. In 1823, the first civilian governor of Florida, William Pope Duval desired a central location for the legislature to meet. He sent one explorer on horseback from St. Augustine and another by boat from Pensacola. Their rendezvous point, Tallahassee, was declared Florida's capital city. The old Capitol was built in 1902. It was replaced by a 22-story Capitol building in 1977. It is one of five high-rise Capitol buildings in the U.S. The location pictured above served as a memorable backdrop during the 2000 post election drama. . . there are a variety of frozen corndogs available in your grocers dairy case.
