Wall Street

    Could the presence of the telephone pole (if that's what it is) help date this image more specifically?
  • Cesar Romero Robles said:
    This photograph was taken in 1883...the statue of Washington was dedicated on November 26th of that year, Chester Alan Arthur was present: www.flickr.com/photos/46317563@N04/8688559341/in/photostream A law was passed in 1884 banning all poles...the blizzard of 1888 took care of most of these ...

U. S. Capitol--Northeast View

  • Susan Barsy said:
    This photograph shows the modified dome that was added to the Capitol during the Civil War era, at the same time that new House and Senate chambers were also constructed. Credit should be given above to the American architect Thomas Ustick Walter, who designed the dome and the expanded wings of the building. Susan Barsy, PhD

    Why is Robert Adams the architect for a building completed in 1796?
  • Cornell University Library said:
    Good question! We're going to look into this, and we'll let you know what we turn up.
  • Stephen Grebinski said:
    I work at the estate actually! There's a Robert Adams who was a Scottish Architect in the late 1700s who developed the style that the house was built in, but the house was designed by William Hamilton who lived in the mansion.
