1997 The Capitol - Christmas in the City Series (Department 56)

A cornerstone of the Department 56 "Christmas in the City" series, The Capitol (item 58887) is a majestic architectural piece that brings a sense of civic pride and history to any holiday village display. Introduced in 1997, this hand-painted porcelain building features impressive neoclassical details, including a grand white dome, stately columns, and multi-tiered steps. The structure is designed to be lit from within, casting a warm glow through its many windows and highlighting the intricate textures of the facade. This retired piece is highly sought after by collectors of the urban-themed series. It typically comes in its original styrofoam sleeve and branded cardboard box, including the light cord and bulb assembly.
