No one without legislative experience can understand the task involved in such an undertaking. The Record shows that his efforts in this direction covered a period of more than eight years. In 1870 he secured an appropriation for this work and in 1872 still another for the same purpose. In 1874 he brought to his assistance the great landscape gar- dener, Frederick Law Olmstead, whose reports resulted in another appropriation for a topographical survey of the grounds. In 1876 he secured still an...other appropriation for the improvement of the grounds, and in 1877 an appropria- tion to extend their bounds. In 1878, sufficient grounds having been secured, the work of making them beautiful was carried steadily on. The magnificent terraces which sur- round three sides of the building are a monument to his taste and his efforts. Dissatisfied with the proportions of the Cap- itol building, he conceived the idea of constructing upon its north, west and south sides, marble terraces of proportions so grand as to give architectural strength and elegance to the building.
