The Negros Occidental Provincial Capitol Building followed Daniel Burnham's Beaux Art style.
When William Cameron Forbes was the governor general in the Philippines in 1904, he invited Burnham to the country, who, in turn, recommended as consulting architect to the government William E. Parsons.
 When he arrived in 1905, Parsons established the architectural office of the Bureau of Public Works which was composed of American and Filipino architects, such as Juan Nakpil, Tomas Mapua, and Juan de Guzman Arellano.
 Using the neo-classical architectural design of Burnham for the capitol, Juan Arellano executed the project.

The building is built in a shape of the letter E composed of the main entrance, which is the middle part, and of the wings on both sides of the center.
The prominent feature of the central section are wide steps that lead to colonnades of about three-story high and with Corinthian capitals on the upper portion.
 
The works of National Artist for Sculpture Guillermo Tolentino are displayed in the capitol building and the lagoon fronting the building.
