| The superintendent's office was located in the part of the State Capitol constructed in the 1860s. Because the bookcase matches exactly one seen in the Historical Society's rooms, also in the original part of the building (Image ID: 23288), it is likely that they are examples of the furniture in the early Capitol. |
