Wisconsin State Capitol (Third) and Park

Wisconsin State Capitol (Third) and Park | Photograph | Wisconsin Historical Society
The third Wisconsin State Capitol as it appeared during the early 1870s. Close scrutiny of the entrance (whether it is the north or south entrance cannot be determined), reveals a semi-circular staircase under the portico that is nowhere else so visible in the historical documentation.  In 1873 the rustic wooden walkways and chain fence gave way to a more designed landscape.
