The Information Desk

When the State House was completed in 1842, this corridor and its opposite led outside to covered walkways that connected the Central Wing to the other two wings of the capitol. This one led to the West Wing. After 1867 it also led to the entrance of the federal court. After 1885 it led to a balcony covered loggia outside the Treasurer's Office. Despite the fact that the West Wing and Central Wing were joined together since 1867, it was still necessary to go outside to get from one to the other until 1980.
