  • Historic Photographs
    Appendix F : Historic Photographs Historic Photographs Introduction In April 2013, the Project Design Team led by HDR Architecture, in association with Preservation Design Partnership, LLC and Plan One / Architects, began exploring the evolution of the Wyoming State Capitol from 1888 to present. With the help of the State of Wyoming Department of Administration and Information Division of Construction Management [AICM] and the Wyoming State Archives, the Design Team was able to obtain a number of archival photographs illustrating that evolving state of the Capitol exterior and interior throughout the building’s lifetime. The historic photographs, included as part of Appendix F, are organized in approximate chronological order and by collection. The chronological organization of the historic photographs illustrates the building evolution over time, including the major building campaigns and more subtle changes to the building. These changes include: • The presence of a wrought iron fence along the perimeter of the Capitol site • The configuration of the historic wood windows • The historic extent of gilding at the Capitol dome Performed in conjunction with parallel research of historic drawings, this information begins to tell the story of the building’s appearance and organization. How the Capitol changed over time, both architecturally and programmatically, is also evident. Analysis of the drawings and photographs contributed to our understanding of the building today, and how it has changed over time. Figure F0-1.

  • Addresses for All State Governors
    Addresses for all State Governors Powers of Governors: Governors, all of whom are popularly elected, serve as the chief executive officers of the fifty states and five commonwealths and territories. As state managers, governors are responsible for implementing state laws and overseeing the operation of the state executive branch. As state leaders, governors advance and pursue new and revised policies and programs using a variety of tools, among them executive orders, executive budgets, and legislative proposals and vetoes. Governors carry out their management and leadership responsibilities and objectives with the support and assistance of department and agency heads, many of whom they are empowered to appoint. A majority of governors have the authority to appoint state court judges as well, in most cases from a list of names submitted by a nominations committee. Although governors have many roles and responsibilities in common, the scope of gubernatorial power varies from state to state in accordance with state constitutions, legislation, and tradition, Veto Power All 50 state governors have the power to veto whole legislative measures. In a large majority of states a bill will become law unless it is vetoed by the governor within a specified number of days, which vary among states. In a smaller number of states, bills will die (pocket veto) unless they are formally signed by the governor, also within a specified number of days. Other types of vetoes available to the governors of some states include "line-item" (by which a governor can strike a general item from a piece of legislation), "reduction" (by which a governor can delete a budget item), and "amendatory" (by which a governor can revise legislation).

A major remodel in 1909–1910 enlarged the wings of the building and replaced the building’s original dome with a more elongated one. New Hampshire State House, 107 North Main Street, Concord, NH 03303 Year completed**: 1819 Architectural style: Greek Revival FYI: The stately eagle installed on top of the New Hampshire State House’s dome may look gold, but it’s actually brass. The original was removed for preservation and is on display at the New Hampshire Historical Society. A new, gold-leafed eagle was put in its place around 1969. Vermont State House, 115 State Street, Montpelier, VT 05633 Year completed**: 1859 Architectural style: Renaissance Revival FYI: The senate chamber still has its original furnishings, plus working gas lamps, and a “gasolier”—a gaslight chandelier that was rediscovered elsewhere in 1979, refurbished, and reinstalled in the chamber. New York State Capitol, State St. and Washington Ave, Albany, NY 12224 Year completed**: 1899 Architectural style: Italian Renaissance/French Renaissance/Romanesque FYI: The Western staircase inside New York’s capitol has been dubbed the “Million Dollar Staircase,” because it cost more than a million dollars to build—in the late-1800s, no less.
