The largest chandelier ever designed by the Tiffany Studios of New York is installed in Washington State's Legislative Building in Olympia. Go to the fourth-floor balcony for the best view. Rising 175 ft. above the rotunda floor, this bronze chandelier weighs five tons (10,000 pounds) and is decorated with 204 light bulbs. Featuring elaborate Greco-Roman stylized figures, the chandelier is supported by a 101-foot-long chain that itself weighs 3,000 pounds. The chandelier arrived by train and was assembled on the Rotunda floor in 1928.
