1884 · There is now a Capital Building
The capitol building in Des Moines originally had a budget of $1,500,000 but complications arose because of the need of a redesign. The building was dedicated on January 17, 1884, but it wasn’t completed until 1886. On January 4, 1904, a fire started and swept through the areas that housed the Supreme Court and Iowa House of Representatives. A major restoration was performed and documented, with the addition of electrical lighting, elevators, and a telephone system. By the early 1980s, the sandstone exterior of the Capitol had started deteriorating and prompted the installation of canopies to protect pedestrians from falling rubble. The entire reconstruction process took around 18 years to complete.
1886

1904
St. Louis, Missouri, United States hosts Summer Olympic Games.
Name Meaning
Scottish: variant of Jamison . It probably originated in the pronunciation of James as Jamis, but the Scottish preference for this form of Jamison will have been reinforced by association with Jamie, the Scots pet form of James .
