4 July 1950 1955 20 FIRST CAPITOL OF INDIANA TERRITORY This building was occupied by the Territo- rial Government and was situated on the south side of Main Street, midway between Second and Third Street. About 100 years ago it was moved to Third Street near Har- rison Park and used as a residence. In 1919 the Fortnightly Club of Vincennes, through public donation, purchased the building and moved it to its present site in Harrison Park where it now stands restored in its original condition. The upper floor was the meeting place of the legislative body and the lower was occupied by the governor and the secre- tary of the Territory. A. A. ARNOLD, VINCENNES, IND.
