Wikipedia Description: Mississippi State Capitol
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Mississippi State Capitol is the state capitol building of the U.S. state of Mississippi and was designed by architect Theodore Link. Housing the Mississippi Legislature, it is located in the state capital of Jackson.

The New Capitol:

The Mississippi State Capitol, often known as the "New Capitol," is located in downtown Jackson and has been the home to Mississippi's state legislature since 1903.

The Old Capitol:

The Old Capitol (currently closed due to damage from Hurricane Katrina) in Jackson served as the Capitol Building from 1839 until its replacement in 1903. It currently serves as a museum, containing exhibits from all periods of Mississippi's history.

The Old Capitol is a masterpiece of nineteenth-century Greek Revival architecture. It was the third and final statehouse designed by the influential British architect William Nichols. Completed in 1839, the Old Capitol is Jackson’s oldest building. The imposing structure was situated at the main intersection of the young city and soon became its dominant feature. The building itself is defined by its rotunda, which rises ninety-four feet from the polished limestone floor to the top of the dome.

The Old Capitol was designed as the architectural expression of the 1832 Mississippi constitution, which articulated Jacksonian democracy’s ideal of broad public participation in government. Consequently, the legislative chambers eclipsed the governor's office in elegance and location, and the public was provided large, open galleries in both the House and Senate chambers to view the proceedings.

The Old Capitol was constructed with a limestone base and a faux-limestone facade of scored stucco on three sides, with brick left exposed only at the back of the building—which faced what was then the wild Pearl River swamp. In 1959-61 the Old Capitol was renovated and the stucco left off as a cost-cutting measure. Now, the faux limesto ...More...

1998 photos: Since 1984, I've lived in Silver Spring, Maryland. From 1981 to 2002, photos were taken using a Pentax ME Super camera. From 1989 to 2002, I was doing all pictures as prints (instead of slides which I had grown up on). In 1997, at the age of 40, my photo obsession began and I started taking thousands of photos per year. In September, 2002, I switched to digital cameras and the number of photos exploded. Trips this year: More Civil War touring (Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee), a work trip to Chicago and Louisiana, and family visits to Michigan and North Carolina. Image quality for my pictures is variable because these are scans of slides and/or prints at varying quality/resolutions. The Great Pandemic Digitizing Project: When I was first setting up my website in August, 2000, I had decided to digitize some of my favorite pre-digital slides and prints. The scans were fairly low resolution but they were good enough. With COVID forcing me to stay indoors, I decided to rescan ALL of my pre-digital images from multiple sources (slides, prints, and negatives) at a much higher resolution and quality setting. (I digitized Dad's slides at the same time). Instead of replacing my original scans, I added the new scans to existing pages, figuring I'd select the best ones later. As a result, multiple versions of images appear on most of these early pages. At some point, I'll take the time to do a final review and get rid of the duplicates.
