State Capitol, Jackson, Miss.
Antique postcard from the private collection of Valerie Mockaitis.
Published by Illustrated Post Card, New York.

This early view of the capitol includes a golden dome.
The dome is stone and has never been gilded or copper-clad. This type
of error is common, and the other details are accurate.

State Capitol, Jackson, Mississippi
Vintage postcard published circa 1930 by
The Mayrose Co, Linden, New Jersey.
This side view really shows off the curved colonnade at the end of the wing. Being an aerial shot also lets us see what at least part of the area was like. An advantage of the untinted view is the accurate color of the dome.

The Mississippi State Capitol at Jackson.
Illustration by James Wells Champney
From the book, The Great South
Published by American Publishing Co., 1875.
This old capitol still stands in Jackson. It was designed and built from 1836 to 1840 and served as state capitol from 1839 (before completion) to 1903 when the new capitol was opened. The old capitol then became a state office building, and it has been a museum from 1961 to the present.

In wealth and beauty thou art great
The sweet magnolia blossoms here
