Wisconsin State Capitol View Looking South
Image
View from the Wisconsin State Capitol looking south. Lake Monona is to the left, and West Washington Avenue is on the right. The Dane County Courthouse on South Main Street is under construction, a fact which dates this picture. Also prominent is the tall spire of St. Raphael Catholic Church. In the foreground are the Capitol Park and Carroll Street. Facing Carroll Street are the Park Hotel and the First Baptist Church.
1885
Curtiss, E. R. (Edwin Rodney), 1836-1906
