Someone gave Lincoln mail carrier Larry Schultz an impossible task earlier this month: Deliver this letter to Mrs. H.H. Wheeler at 1517 H St.

The first state Capitol was built in 1867. It was ready for use by Dec. 1, 1868, but was so poorly constructed that it had to be razed in 1887. The occupants of the home at 1517 H St., which was built in 1884, would have watched this Capitol torn down and the second Capitol built in its spot.

In the Shadow of the Capitol
We're telling the stories of the people who live, work and go to school in our Nebraska Capitol area neighborhoods – past and present.
Today, we're exploring a letter that was mailed to a woman living across the street from the Capitol during the construction of the second and third state Capitols in Lincoln. The letter showed up mysteriously among the mail of postal carrier Larry Schultz in mid-June -- mailed from Des Moines, Iowa, 103 years ago.
We are sharing these stories periodically of the people in the shadow of the Capitol. Email us at jyoung@journalstar.com with ideas for stories of people in these neighborhoods, and read on.

The first state Capitol was built in 1867. It was ready for use by Dec. 1, 1868, but was so poorly constructed that it had to be razed in 1887. The occupants of the home at 1517 H St., which was built in 1884, would have watched this Capitol torn down and the second Capitol built in its spot.
