Bird's-eye view looking down Locust Street from the Capitol, Des Moines, Iowa
-
Description
-
Looking west from the stairs of the Iowa State Capitol building at Locust Street and downtown Des Moines in the background. The building was completed in 1886 at a cost of $3,296,256, and, and at the time, was the only five-domed capitol in the country. The dome of the capitol is gilded with tissue-paper thin sheets of pure 23-karat gold, with a protective layer sealing the gold from the weather, and the top of its finial peak is 275 feet (84 m) above the ground. From its opening during 1884 until 1924, it was the tallest building in Des Moines, and likely the entire state. It is located at 1007 East Grand Avenue, Des Moines, Polk County, Iowa and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Number 107839.

C. B. & Q. Depot, Albia, Iowa, Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Depot
-
Description
-
One story brick depot with signal and railroad carts, a telegraph sign on the front of the building, and a child leaning against the building with people walking on the brick platform. The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railway had plans for securing railroads for Albia as early as 1865 when they proposed to extend their line westward from Ottumwa to Albia and Chariton. The company wanted Monroe and Lucas counties to raise $100,000 to secure the road, threatening to locate the line through some other territory if that amount was not guaranteed. The people of Monroe County granted the right of way with the depot grounds at Albia. The C., B., & Q. traversed the entire portion of Monroe County from east to west, a distance of a little more than 27 miles, and its total value was assessed at $349,647 in 1896. Number 46670. Number 46670.
