Wisconsin State Capitol Interior — Quarters of the Historical Society
| The Historical Society's early library and painting collections on display in the third Wisconsin State Capitol. This photograph was taken about 1880 before the Society moved from the old South Wing (into which it had moved in 1866) to the South Wing addition, and it documents something of the appearance of the original Capitol construction, including the decorative crown moldings, the gas chandelier, and the library cabinets. Carpets are known to have been changed in the Capitol, and it is unlikely that the patterned design here is original. |
