‘Awestruck’: Idaho State Archives now hold original Capitol building drawings

Hummel Architects donates more than 100 original drawings, paintings of Statehouse to state historical society

In neat black ink, Tourtellotte & Hummel architects stipulated 12 outlets, at 60 watts each, would line the uppermost circle of the Idaho Capitol’s dome. In the ring below that? Twenty-eight outlets at 100 watts each. During a Tuesday press conference at the Governor’s Ceremonial Office at the Statehouse, Hummel Architects announced it has donated its original Capitol drawings and paintings to the Idaho State Archives, a division of the Idaho State Historical Society.
