The Nebraska State Capitol dominates the skyline in Lincoln, including looking west from 28th and J streets. The Capitol has 15 floors above ground and is 400 feet tall. It was completed in 1932 after 10 years of construction; the cost was $9.8 million in 1932 dollars.

The Capitol stays Lincoln's tallest building because the Lincoln Municipal Code puts height restrictions on structures within the Capitol Environs District.
