Selling the Capitol, piece by piece

Wisconsin will sell away scraps of its history this weekend. This Saturday morning, people can purchase 90-year-old doors, light fixtures, exit signs and woodwork.

All used to grace the Capitol until the decade-long restoration which ended in 2003. The sale will run from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the University of Wisconsin SWAP (Surplus with a Purpose) building, 2102 Wright Street.
