Excerpt from First Biennial Report of the Board of State Capitol Commissioners Appointed to Construct a New Capitol for the State of Minnesota: January 1st, 1895
We think we have been fortunate in securing such a site, located in the heart of the city, and so conveniently accessible to all citizens having business at the state capitol. When the streets and alleys run ning through it have been vacated, the new site will contain 7 8-10 acres.
It is to be paid for in four equal annual payments, out of the appropriations available under the act, in 1895, 1896, 1897 and 1898.
