Notes
by Dr. E.C. Papenfuse, State Archivist:-
"Construction of the present state house was initiated in 1772. The
structure is crowded into the southwest quadrant of the circle and the
earliest surviving elevation of the capitol, the print published in the
Columbian Magazine in 1789 (Figure
1) shows the center of the site occupied by a structure known as the
"Council Chambers". The condition of the grounds in 1789 can only be described
as rudimentary. The print depicts a site which has some grass, no
trees or shrubs, and a great deal of erosion. The evidence suggests
grading of the site was not completed initial 1804, some ten years after
the completion of the structure." (MSA S 1259-121-1706)
