Capitol Park and City Hall

Capitol Park and City Hall | Photograph | Wisconsin Historical Society
Stereograph of Madison City Hall at the corner of Mifflin Street and Wisconsin Avenue, as viewed through the trees of the Capitol Park. The three-story tall building was constructed in 1858. The building was sufficiently large that the third floor was entirely given over to a public auditorium and some of its offices could be rented to the state for extra income for the city. The old City Hall was not destroyed until 1954.
