That is amazing!!! And so informal looking for such an otherwise formal place.

The original idea when the new Capitol was completed (the tower you see in the background) was to demolish the old Capitol (it looked quite different and was pretty much a mess). Fortunately, cooler heads prevailed and the decision was made to restore the old building to its 1902 appearance and take down some of the tacky add-ons. The awnings represent what you would have seen in 1902 (since you mostly see B&W photos from that era, that's why they seem odd). The result worked out well, giving a much softer, more historic counterpoint to the severe looking tower that is the new Capitol.

Also keep in mind that for much of Florida's history it was a poor state. As a result, the old Capitol was never as grand as the ones you'll see in some other state capitals.

If he isn't removed from office by the Senate and wins reelection, I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up impeached a second time on other charges of illegal stuff he hasn't even done yet, well before 2023. Lmao
