When Billie talks about the beautiful new State Capitol building, which was shown earlier when she was in Sacramento, she is actually referring to the renovations done to it from 1975 to 1982. The building itself was begun in 1860, and completed in 1874, designed by Reuben S. Clark in the Neoclassical style.
Despite being mentioned extensively in conversations, Billie Newman's husband Ted does not make an appearance.
