Caption:
Below the sidewalk of West State Street, | Additional Description: an archaeologist exposes the footings of the stoop beneath the northern entrance into the office building [above left]. In the summer of 1797 a “State House Necessary” was constructed within the State House lot. Probably a stone masonry structure with at least three privies beneath a single roof, these facilities served State legislators and office staff alike. In March of 2006 archaeologists found one of the privy shafts of the State House necessary directly beneath the West State Street portico of the State House [right].
