The Governor's Room at the Iowa State Capitol in Des Moines, with a large ornate desk covered with papers, carved wooden chairs, a patterned carpet, and a chandelier. The printed caption places the room in a suite at the southeast end of the building and notes its handsome furniture and oil paintings of prominent citizens. The capitol had been completed in the 1880s, making it a relatively new landmark when this card was printed.
