    What did the people in Arizona do before there was airconditioning?

    Question #16746. Asked by Humidity. (Feb 20 02 2:03 PM)

    		this might be the answer:

    In addition to using native materials, Arizona's Capitol design fit the needs of the territory with many built-in, warm-weather features. In the days before air conditioning, thick walls were used to insulate a building and keep the heat out. Additionally, skylights and round 'bullseye' windows, both of which opened, allowed heat (which rises) to escape the legislative chambers.
