Wisconsin State Capitol (Third) Dome Elevation
Image
Drawing by architect Stephen Vaughn Shipman of the dome for the third Wisconsin State Capitol. Wisconsin selected Shipman's design for the dome because of its similarity to the recently-constructed Capitol in Washington, D.C., rejecting the dome proposed by August Kutzbock and Samuel H. Donnel in their original plans. Like the Capitol in Washington, Shipman's design was constructed of iron plates and glass.
1884
