Exploring The History Of Iowa - Unit Six - Political Issues April 8, 1935 Old Capitol Begins Second Century Of Service - Built Under Watchful Eyes of Indian 'Sidewalk Superintendents' January 19, 1958
Iowa City Played Key Roll In Early History Of State - Territorial Capital Century Ago . . .
An Old Brick Walk . . . leads across the inviting grounds of Plum Grove, home of Robert Lucas, first governor of the Iowa territory. Now a state historical monument, the restored Lucas home is open to the public.
Hundreds of Johnson County settlers gathered around Old Capitol in the early 1850's for the Johnson County Fair. The building was still unfinished at this time and had not been completed in December, 1857, when it became the property of the State University of Iowa, which had been founded in 1847, only two months later than the beginning of Iowa statehood. During the 100 years that it has been a part of the SUI campus, Old Capitol has served as a focal point for University life.
Old Capitol was completely renovated and restored in 1923-24 with a $50,000 appropriation from the State Legislature. More than three-quarters of a century of service had caused a marked deterioration. Wooden beams and trusses were replaced with structural steel, and a settling of the massive stone wall in this corner of the building was corrected.
Four massive pillars which support the portico had not been erected when this picture was taken of Old Capitol, the first statehouse of Iowa. Old Capitol was turned over to the State University of Iowa when the state capital was moved to Des Moines and has now served the University for a century.
