Ola Babcock Miller Building
Title
Ola Babcock Miller Building
Description
The building was designed by architect Oliver O. Smith in 1898 in the Beaux Arts style. It is one of the oldest buildings in the Iowa State Capitol Complex. The building initially housed the Iowa State Historical Society, which up to this time had three rooms in the capitol building. They moved here in 1899 and stayed until their present building was completed in 1987. After an historic renovation the building was renamed in honor of Ola Babcock Miller, Iowa’s first female Secretary of State. The building now houses the State Library of Iowa, which has occupied space in the building since 1912.
