DescriptionA view of the façade of the Connecticut State Capitol, showing a ladder leading to a statue on a pedestal on the second story. Ropes extend from the building and run along the façade. There are workmen and a wheeled cart on the ground.

NotesSubject Note: Although the Connecticut State Capitol was completed in 1878, its sculptural decoration was still incomplete in the early twentieth century. Many of the niches on its facades remained empty. Additional statues to fill these niches were commissioned during the 1910s and 1920s.
