The New York State Capitol was constructed between 1867 and 1899. Built at a cost of $25 million, it was the most expensive government building of its time. It is one of ten state capitols without a domed roof. Three teams of architects worked on the design of the Capitol during the 32 years of its construction. They were managed by: 1867-75: Thomas Fuller, 1875-83: Leopold Eidlitz and Henry Hobson Richardson, 1883-99: Isaac G. Perry. Fuller, the initial architect, was an Englishman who also designed the Canadian Parliament buildings in Ottawa.
