  • State Capitol Complex & Sculptures
    State Capitol Complex Illinois State Capitol The Illinois State Capitol anchors the Capitol Complex on Second and Capitol streets in Springfield. It is the state’s sixth Capitol Building — the second one in Springfield — since Illinois entered the Union as the 21st state on Dec. 3, 1818. The first Capitol Building was located in Kaskaskia — Illinois’ first capital city. The next three were located in the state’s second capital city of Vandalia. Following a bitter battle over moving the state capital out of Vandalia to a more central part of the state, Springfield was named the third capital city in 1839, and work began on a new building. The state’s fifth Capitol Building — now the Old State Capitol State Historic Site in downtown Springfield — was com- pleted in 1853 and is where Abraham Lincoln served as a state legislator. The General Assembly authorized construction of the current State Capitol in 1867, which was completed in 1888. It was designed by architects John C. Cochrane, Alfred H. Piquenard and W.W. Boyington and cost $4.3 million. In addition to housing Illinois’ executive officers and legislators, the State Capitol origi- nally provided quarters for the Supreme Court, government agencies, regulatory boards and military leaders. It also housed three museums, several libraries and the State Archives. Most of those entities are now located in separate buildings on the Capitol Complex. The State Capitol presently houses the offices of several Illinois constitutional officers and state legislators and serves as the location of all legislative sessions of the General Assembly. The building underwent major external restoration in 1983 and 1984, and the Capitol dome was restored in 1986.
