Capitol history up for sale

If these doors could talk, think of the stories they would tell.

Maybe the leather-covered oak door swung back and forth as politicians brokered backroom deals. Perhaps the oval window looked down on lawyers arguing before the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

Pieces from the state Capitol, from transom window frames to quarter-sawn oak trim, will be sold beginning Saturday at the UW-Madison SWAP Shop. Some items already have been offered in the shop’s online auction.
