The Elizabeth City Capitol Building is the government building from which Elizabeth City is run. Once the Museum of the Albemarle, this large building contains the buildings for the Elizabeth City Senate, the Mayor, and the Judge. The building has undergone multiple changes since the Great War. While most of these changes have been due to reconstruction after hurricanes, renovations have taken place in an effort to make the building more defensible in the event of raider attacks. These changes include reinforced metal shielding over the once-large windows overlooking the entrance. This has also made the building more prone to surviving hurricanes with minimal amounts of damage.
