The Secretary of State's Office


Many changes have been made to the interior of the Statehouse over the years, some even before it was officially completed in 1888.   Most of these rooms were partitioned long ago, making full length photos of the windows, doors, walls and ceilings impossible.

Offices located in the south corridor, east side.
