which had taken so long in its con-
struction
This building was in the form of ct =
and SO many were the alterations and re-
pairs that little more than the walls re-
NAMED standing In 1881. In 1866 gas was
put in Up to that time the legislative
halls were lighted during the night ses-
Sions with candles, and the building was
heated by wood stoves for five years
longer. In 1871 steam-heating apparatus
and water supply were ordered by the
legislature, and the building began to
have some of the comforts of civilized
life as one of the witty members of the
house put it. After the increased repre-
sentation, commencing in 1872, more room
was imperative. The next session of the
legislature ordered a wing fronting on
Exchange street, costing IS, 900, while
changes in the assembly rooms, roof, GU
pola, etc, cost 5000 more. The wing that
was constructed did away with the four
pl1lars that marked the building for so
many years and that supported the roof
of the portico from which William H
Seward made his famous speech The
session of 1878 ordered another new wing.
This was to front on Wabasha street and
was to furnish room for the house of
representatives The wing was completed
in December, 1878, and cost over SIS, 001
The building with all these improve
ments, while not very symmetrical in
shape, was large and commodious, and
furnished plenty of room for all the needs
Of the state. The entire length of the
building was 204 feet and the width was
$50 feet The building from first to last
cost $10S0O0
The last addition to the nnE capitol
was completed in DScemb. 1878, and on
the first day of March, 1881, the entire
building was destroyed by fire. The feg-
islature was holding an evening session,
when suddenly the alarm was given. The
fire broke out in the dome, and in a few

Walter T. Gassaway, the colored barber
at the state capitol, carefully folded some
towels. and then, no prospective Gus
tcmer appearing at the top of the steps
leading down to his shop, he leaned negli-
gently over the back of a chair and
,waxed reminiscent for the benefit of The
G / o b e..
you see, sab, I was the first barber
to open a shop here at the capitol and
keep it open. One or two had tried be-
fore me, but somehow they couldn't make
it pay When I fixed up this little room
here it was just toward the close of
GUNNER Nelson's last term. For some
time 1 did not see the guy ner at all, but
one afternoon he came in in a hurry to-
be shaved, and after that he was pref
ty steady customer. He wore what is
known as chin whiskers, and was always
careful to have them trimmed just so.
Guy'ner Nelson never talked much, but
he was always pleasant, and answered
any remark that was made to him.
s'The next gunner, as sou know sab,
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1901-11-03

was Guvnor Clough. And he was a
mighty good fellow, 1 can tell you. All
the guv'ners have been nice, but GUNNER
Clough he certainly do come pretty near
taking the cake. He came every day TO
be shaved. He used to stand at the head
of the stairs there and call out, How
you fixed, Walter? and then I would am

and he'd come down, smiling all over,
and say, SO you knew who it was, did
you? GUNNER Clough talked more than
any of the other guvners, and he always
seemed jolly. People who wanted Off
ces used to follow him down into the bar
Der shop Sometimes when he had prom
ised an office and then for some reason
found 1t impossible to keep that promise
he would explain the situation carefully
to the man who was hunting for the of
fee. and, do you know, sab, before that
person went away he looked as if the
gunner had done him the biggest favor
instead of disappointing him. Just such
way did the gunner have. When he
first came to me he wore his whiskers
quite long, and every day he asked me
to trim them little shorter When they

cent state house that is being construct
ed. The great question in regard to it is,
What will be done with it?' There
seems to DE difference of opinion in re-
gard to the ultimate disposal of the struc-
ture and the land that gees with it,
which is a very valuable piece of prop
erty, lying as it does in the heart of the
city, containing an entire block and hav
ing a $4,000 building upon it. 1t is
question whether the state has a right
to transfer this property or not. The
state constitution says that. ''in tho
event of the seat of government being
removed from the city of st. Paul to any
other place in the state, the capitol
building and grounds shall be dedicated
to an institution for the promotion of
science, literature and the arts, to be or
ganized by the legislature of the state,
and of which institution the Mime
sofa Historical society shall always be
a department.
1t would seem by this, which is an

extract from the constitution, that the
state has right to use the building and
grounds for a certain use, but back Of
this is the condition under which Charles
Bazille gave the square to the state. The
condition was For capitol purposes"
1t is not known whether the heirs OF
the Charles Bazille estate will ever make
any effort to hold this square as soon
as the state ceases to use it for capitol
purposes. If the state is allowed to dis
pose of the old capitol in accordance
with the provisions of the constitution,
it is quite probable that the building
will be rented to the city for high
school, and in that way it will comply
with the provision and with certain acts
of the legislature.
The New Capitol Building.
The new capitol building, about which
so much has been said in the last
few years, is to be one of the most mag
nif1cent state homes that. can be found
in the great sisterhood of states. 1t was
designed by Cass Gilbert, of st. Paul.
and is being built by the Butler-Ryan
company. The building is located at the
head of Wabasha street, about four
blocks from the present capitol. The
site, which contains over seven acres, Is
bounded by University avenue on the
north, Park avenue on the west, Wa
DaSha street and Central avenue on the
south and Cedar street on the east. The
location is an ideal one being elevated
and on the direct line of travel between
the Twin Cities.
The building is 433 feet long, with an
average width. of 12O feet. The width
through the central portion of the build
ing, but not including the steps, is 22S
feet. The hall on the top of the dome
will be 22O feet above the base of the
steps on the south front elevation A
better conception of the size of the build
ing may be gained by knowing that the
total cubical contents of the building
will be 5,060,S55 feet.
The material from which the exterior
walls of the building is being made Is
the beautiful white Georgia marble.
The interior walls, the vaults and back
ing of the exterior walls are made of
the best Minnesota hard-burned brick.
The building when completed will be fur
nished in the most approved style and
with all the conveniences, and will make
the finest state house that is possessed
by any state in the West The entire
cost of the building will be slightly in ex-
cess of 100000.
When Minnesota takes possession OF
this magnificent structure and gets her
offices all located therein, 1t seems that
the old law. of change will be overcome
so far as changes in the state home is
concerned and when centuries and ages
have passed the new capitol building OF
Minnesota will still be standing as q,
testimony that all things do not change
with time.

moments the entire building was wrapped
the building was done, but to no avail,
and in very short space of time it was
a mass of ruins. At 8 o'clock the next
morning the legislature met in the new
market house of St. Paul. which had Just
been finished, but not yet used.
The Present Capitol Building.
s AS soon as the capitol building was
burned the legislature made arrange
rnents for rebuilding. Before the ruins
had really become cool, a bill appropriate
ing $4,000 to rebuild. using the old walls,
had been presented t. the legislature,
passed and signed by Gov. Pillspnry.. AS
soon as the debris which surrounded the
walls of the old building YVES removed, it
was found that the heat had SO ruined
them that they were unsafe. It is also
said that some of them actually crumbled
and fell into the basement Examination
proved that it was impossible to use
them in the construction of the new
building, and that the only thing to be
done was to build an entirely new struc-
ture. In order to do this it was necessary
to increase the amount which had been
appropriated for renovating the old build
ing. Accordingly the legislature, which
met in September, 1881, in the market
house, voted the additional sum OF $780,,
600 for the completion of the building.
The entire cost was $275,000
This building, which is the one now In
use and which stands on the same
ground that the original capitol did, Is
built in the form Of a Greek cross, three
stories high, with high basement.
The latter is built of cut stone and the
superstructure of red brick, with Dres-
bach stone trimmings. The roof is of
slate. The boilers that supply the steam
heat are In a building detached from the
main edif1ce. The building is well ar
ranged, the light in all the rooms being
good, and halls reach to every part Of
the building. In the center of the main
hall is case in which are displayed the
battlefags of the state, together with
the flags captured by Minnesota troops
in the Civil war. The dome of the build
ing is 200 feet above the ground, and
gives splendid view to the one who as
cends it.
