Capitol (Third) and Unbuilt Dome
Image
Lithograph of the Wisconsin State Capitol, surrounded by portraits of Wisconsin Statesmen. Governor Bashford hired the Madison architectural firm Kutzbock and Donnel to design an addition to the capitol, which would be the first phase of the construction of an entirely new building. Kutzbock and Donnel's proposed a modest structure with two large porticoed wings to house legislative chambers, octagonal towers at the corners, and a small, cupola-like dome.
