_, tl, -.. , . , ^; „i\-i ;. '. , -: 7 7 ■ '-, ;i PRESENT STATE CAPllOL. PUBLIC BUILDINGS. The first State house in Hartford, a wooden structure 70 by 30 feet, was built in 1719-20, in front of the present City Hall. On the second floor were two rooms for the meetings of the two houses, with a hall between. As the second story was supported by columns, the entire lower floor was available for public gatherings. In the garret were stored the arms of the militia. Previous to its erection, the gen...eral court met at the church. The original building served the State for three-fourths of a century. The second State house, built of brick, with brown-stone trim- mings, was completed in 1796, at a cost of $52, 000. It was a costly structure for the period, and various devices, including the inevitable lottery, were resorted to to raise the funds for its completion. It is now used for municipal offices and for the meetings of the common council. The present capitol, on the elevated plateau near the western border of Bushnell Park, is a fire-proof marble structure, a trifle over 295 feet long, with a depth in the center of 189 feet, and a height to the top of the crowning figure of 256 feet.
