BARABOO, Wis. (Map, News) -
The Circus World Museum in Baraboo is looking for old photographs of the original interior of a Ringling brothers' building on its site.

The museum will soon do a partial restoration of the National Landmark Ringling Bros. Winter Quarters Office Building. But it has no concrete photographic evidence of what the interior looked like when the Ringling Bros. Circus owned it.

The Queen Anne-style residence built in 1901 was the offseason financial and operational hub of the brothers' circus empire.

Organizers say that even though the museum has one of the most expansive circus research facilities, they have any no interior photos of the building from that time.

The museum spans a 63-acre site that served as the winter home of the Ringling brothers' circus from 1884 to 1918
