The US Capitol building is not in a state. It is in the District of Columbia, which is specifically and by design not part of any state. The District of Columbia was formed by Virginia and Maryland voluntarily giving up part of their territory to the Federal government; the government later returned the Virginia portion, so while the Capitol is not actually in any state, is is on land that was at one time part of Maryland.
