On the other side of a broad one-way boulevard are an extensive plaza area where memorials and landscaping create a pleasant walk between various state capitol office buildings. The most notable feature is a large bronze fountain that unfortunately was turned off at the time of my visit. I couldn't find a plate memorial or even on-line reference to this fountain, but I believe it is devoted to world peace or some other such positive symbolism. This area is clearly the newest contribution to the landscaping around the capitol building.
