The article needs better references. Three of the five references are dead links.John Paul Parks (talk) 14:36, 29 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sale of State Capitol buildings? Really? Yes.

How the hell did the SALE OF THIS BUILDING on January 14, 2010, go UNNOTICED without any remark?? There was a similar blackout in the local news, btw. Didn't report on it until 6 months later. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hcovitz (talk • contribs) 19:54, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am embarrassed to say that I wasn't aware of this until today, 8 years after the fact! This most certainly merits more than two lines in the article. I will add to the article. Here are a couple of references:

Prospectus, here's a link to the prospectus for the offering of $709,090,000 of Certificates of Participation, Series 2010A by the State of Arizona. Please verify that this is the final version of this offering.

Del Webb???

Del Webb the person was born in 1899, the same year construction on the Capitol began. It's impressive that a newborn was able to build such a remarkable edifice. Alannyny (talk) 02:49, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well spotted. The State Capitol was constructed by the Scottish-born Texan Tom Lovell. Del Webb's firm added an extension in the 1930s. 114.161.211.103 (talk) 08:32, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
