Taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, the image showcases the temporary wooden stands that were erected on the Capitol grounds for the grand event. The neoclassical architecture of the Capitol Building, with its grand columns and intricate details, serves as a majestic backdrop to the bustling activity below. Workers can be seen constructing the stands, while others gather around, likely discussing the day's plans. The stands, which would soon be filled with thousands of spectators, are a testament to the industrial might and organization required to bring about such a historic occasion.
