Wisconsin State Capitol (Third) Floor Plan
| The floor plan of the first floor of the third Wisconsin Capitol as published in 1904 under the title "Program issued by the Capitol Improvement Commission." The octagonal rooms on both the North and South wings mark the extent of the building before the expansion of 1883. At that time the arrangement of rooms was changed and both the governor and secretary of state moved into rooms on the first floor of the addition. In the original configuration both of those officials had been housed on the first floor of the East Wing (near what would have been regarded as the front door). |
