After the second state capitol had been destroyed, Michigan Governor Henry P. Baldwin initiated the passing of a bill that would cover the costs for a new building. The bill was adopted and raised over $1 million by a six year state income tax. Architect Elijah E.

The renaissance revival brick and sandstone building soared 267 feet from the ground and was dedicated on January 1, 1879.
