Interesting, the lowest is #6 (once), the most frequent is is #2 (4).  I figure any of the top 8 or so have a decent shot.

I'm a doubter

7/10 are from 2 or 3.  Looks like our 2025/6 champ will be Penn State or Ohio State.

I mean, it has a nice lawn, but I'm not sure that I'd call the building "beautiful."  It does appear to be a fine example of modernist brutalism as expressed in Soviet Eastern Bloc architecture.

It's all opinion anyway.  Most rankings are.

A fun thing would be capitol buildings no longer in the capital city, if that has changed over time.  This is the old capitol building in Milledgeville, GA.  



Milledgeville was designated as the new Capital of Georgia in 1803 and the highest point in the city was reserved for the Statehouse Square. In 1805 construction began and The Old Capitol Building became the first public building ever designed in the United States in the Gothic Revival style. Significant expansions were added to the building with north and south wings built c. 1828 and 1834. The work was directed by architect Henry Hamilton, who added the crenellations and a plaster skin. The beautiful east and west porticoes with their granite steps were added in 1835, completing the building to the appearance it maintains today. It served as the seat of government for the State of Georgia from 1807 to 1868, hosting the state’s Secession Convention in early 1861. Since 1879, Georgia Military College has occupied the historic site.  The building underwent a $10 million renovation in 2000.
