Abstract

"Who Built Our Capitol?" reveals the formerly untold story of the workers and contractors who constructed the Minnesota statehouse from 1896 to 1907. The program portrays not only tradespeople, but railroad, quarry, and other workers who provided materials for the building. The documentary relates the broader history of the structure, intertwined with the personal stories of the builders, including the six men who died during the construction. Living descendants of the workers, as well as historians, artisans, and architects, illuminate this history. The program was shot during the renovation of the Capitol, allowing views of architectural details and the construction process not ordinarily available. This footage, combined with archival photographs and music of the period, provide the documentary a compelling visual and auditory character.
