The original building, built between 1883 and 1884, received several additions during the early 1900s until it burned to the ground on the night of December 28, 1930. A 19 story tower (a 241.67 ft. Art Deco skyscraper) on a 160-acre campus that is the site of many other government buildings was built between 1931 and 1934. Not all state agencies are housed on the grounds, however: a large number of them are spread throughout the city in various facilities. Plans for a massive expansion and improvement of the grounds were developed in 2000, but very little of the plan has been implemented as of 2012.
