It housed the Governor\u2019s Council and later the State Senate.<\/p>\n<p>The railing and benches were added in 1818, allowing the public to view Senate proceedings. The doors remained closed during meetings of the Governor\u2019s Council.<\/p>\n<p>The George Washington portrait that hangs in the Senate Chamber is by artist Gilbert Stuart. Stuart is well known for his Washington portraits, including the image that is displayed on the dollar bill. The portrait at Connecticut\u2019s Old State House was commissioned by the Connecticut General Assembly shortly after Washington died in 1799.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1602710602119{padding-top: 15px !important;padding-right: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;}&#8221;][vc_images_carousel images=&#8221;694,695&#8243; img_size=&#8221;465&#215;390&#8243; onclick=&#8221;link_no&#8221; autoplay=&#8221;yes&#8221; hide_pagination_control=&#8221;yes&#8221; wrap=&#8221;yes&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;txt2&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-463 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.cga.ct.gov\/osh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/bulb-60x60-1.png\" alt=\"Did you know?\" width=\"60\" height=\"60\" \/><br \/>\nDid you know?
