The Oklahoma State Capitol Building was built 1914 - 1917. Budgetary constraints at the time did not allow the building to be completed as designed. Most famous of the cutbacks was the postponement of the Capitol dome. However, other areas of the design were also not completed, including marble trim and wood grain steel doors. For over a decade, Michael McMillan has painted faux marble throughout the Capitol to replicate the four original marbles installed from Vermont, Alabama, Georgia and Henrietta, Oklahoma. He has also painted faux wood grain, as well as a painted bronze finish, on many doors throughout.
