GEER'S HARTFORD CITY DIRECTORY.
entire chamber is finished in oak. The carpet has a small pattern agreeable to the eye and in harmony with the walls."The gas fixtures, also, for these halls and the Supreme Court room, which are all of similar pattern, and are of plain, solid finished brass, with no Imitations. These fixtures are typical of everything throughout the entire building-being solid, substan- tial, honest and durable. The desks and chairs of the Senate are oak. The top levels or backs of the desks have a covered recess for the reception of pens, ink and pencils, and under the desks-which is also a re- ceptacle for papers, documents, etc. The chairs have cane seats and backs covered with crimson leather, the back upholstering bearing in emboss work the State coat of arms. The chairs move on hard rubber casters, which are noiseless.
In the Senate Chamber is the celebrated ORIGNAL FULL LENGTH PORTRAIT OF WASHINGTON, taken from life by STUART, for which this State in 1800 paid less than the sum of $800-now it has a priceless value. And a copy of the same, by another artist, is in the Aldermen's chamber in the City Hall. Also, the Lieu- tenant Governor's Chair, carved from Charter Oak wood, is in the Senate Chamber.
The Colonial Legislature of Connecticut was with- out a Senate for the first sixty years after its settle- ment. From the union of the colonies of New Haven and Connecticut under the new charter in 1662 to 1701, all the sessions of the General Court or Legisla- ture, were held in Hartford; but at the latter date, it was enacted that the October session should be held in New Haven, and this prevailed till the Constitution of 1818 was adopted, when annual sessions were held the even years, as 1820, at New Haven, and the odd years, as 1819, at Hartford. This remained till the amendment to our State Constitution was adopted in 1878, to take effect on and after first Wednesday in May, 1875, restoring Hartford as the sole capital. So it seems to be no new thing to have one capital, and that, Hartford. And on and after January, 1877, it met here annually, on the Wednesday after the first Monday in January. Since January, 1888, the Legis- lature has met here biennially.
THE REPRESENTATIVES HALL
Is on the central projecting building of the south front, and supported on an arcade of polished granite columns with carved marble caps, and is lighted by windows on the east, south and west. It has a floor area 84 by 56 feet, and a height of 48 feet. The gal- lery for spectators being on the north side, on which side is the Speaker's desk. The length of the Repre- sentatives hall is from east to west, and the floor is a series of platforms four feet six inches wide, with risers, or steps, of seven inches. On these the mem- bers' desks and seats, in amphitheatrical form, are arranged with radial aisles, having the space around the Speaker's desk for the center. There is a central aisle, and two running to the corners of the desk with a shorter aisle in the center of each section of seats, the largest groups or sections having seven seats, and there being only two of this number. By this arrange- ment no member in reaching his seat is obliged to pass by more than two of his fellow members. In this hall the woodwork and furniture are of black walnut, similar to those in the Senate chamber, except that they are upholstered in maroon leather. The gallery has seats for about 250 persons.
THE GOVERNOR'S ROOMS.
The Governor's rooms consist of & private office, audience room and private secretary's room, finished in oak and furnished with adjoining safety vault. In the southwest corner of the second floor, lighted by windows on the south and west.

THE COMMITTEE ROOMS,
Twenty-three in all, are on the second, third and fourth floors, in close vicinity to the halls of the as- sembly, and are amply sufficient in number for all the business of a session. In all there are eighty rooms for the use of State officers, committees, and the con- venience of them and members of the legislature.
STATE DEPARTMENT ROOMS.
On the first floor are rooms for the Treasurer, Comp- troller, School Fund Commissioner, Insurance Com- missioner, Adjutant General, Paymaster General; on second floor, the Secretary of State; on third floor, the Quartermaster General and Labor Commissioner.

THE STATE LIBRARY ROOM
Is on this floor, and has a superficial area of 85 by 55 feet with a height same as the supreme court room- 85 feet. It is situated on the north center; its north windows overlook the northern entramce.
In the State Library are the portraits of all the Gov- ernors of the State of Connecticut, up to 1898 inclu- sive, excepting those of John Haynes, Edward Hopkins, Thomas Wyllys, Thomas Welles, John Webster, Wil- liam Leet, Robert Treat, Joseph Talcott, Jonathan Law, Roger Wolcott, Thomas Fitch, William Pitkin, Matthew Griswold, Roger Griswold, also the old origi- nal State Charter.
A CLOCK
Is located in room No. 71, on the fourth floor, with 17 dials, connected by the electric system in the sev- eral rooms.
ELEVATOR AND FLOORS.
A steam elevator, six by eight feet, is located near the center of the building. The floors throughout the Capitol are built with brick arches turned against iron beams. In the construction of the roof, iron has been extensively used, so that the building is considered thoroughly fire proof.
THE CAPITOL DOME
Has an area of 4,100 square feet, requiring 87,500 leaves of gold 88 inches square, 28 karets fine. The gilding and dome were finished October 11, 1879. It is reached by 275 steps from the first floor, or by 212 steps from the elevator's landing. The view therefrom extends nearly fifty miles in all directions, embracing the rivers, the cities, numerous villages, etc.
The central and commanding feature of the build . ing is the dome, which is richly adorned with arcades, columns, galleries, etc. Is is constructed of marble like the rest of the building. The dome, in plan, is a duodecagon (twelve sided), and on each terminal, at angles, is placed a female figure, representing Force, Art, Law, Commerce, Science, Agriculture, (two each); one-half size models are standing at entrance of House gallery, third floor. The large figure representing the Genius of Connecticut surmounts the cupola, and holds two wreaths, one of immortelles and one of laurel, and on its head a crown of oak leaves; the model stands on the first floor in the north wing.
THE FINISH.
The wood finish presents a pleasing variety of oak, ash and black walnut, the details being in conformity with the general work. Substantial vaults with iron and steel doors, and also combination locks, and all the most approved guards for safety are provided for the Treas- urer, School Fund Commissioner, and other officers.
