Description

1949 Inspecting Construction of New Senate Wing of Capitol Bldg/Observed by Architect D. Lynn, Sen. Chavez
In 1949-1950, the Senate chamber was reconstructed, the skylight removed and the walls redesigned. Pilasters made from red Levanto marble replaced the cast-iron originals; the wooden rostrum was replaced with a larger version in marble; and the iron and glass ceiling was taken out and a new stainless steel and plaster ceiling installed. The alteration were intended to improve the chamber's acoustics and ventilation while ridding it of its mid 19th-century decor, which was then out of fashion.
9.5” x 7.7” vintage black and white glossy photograph of David Lynn, Architect of the Capitol new Senate wing construction project, along with New Mexico Senator Dennis Chavez and Senate Sergeant at Arms Joseph C. Duke. Slip of paper with description loosely fixed beneath the photo, both mounted to a board, to an overall size of 11” x 11”, Ready to be matted and framed. Very good.
