Built in 1836 in Vandalia, Illinois, this Greek Revival brick structure served as the fourth capitol building of the state and remains the oldest surviving Illinois statehouse, as its three predecessors have vanished. Situated on the historic National Road, the building has been maintained by the state of Illinois as a monument to the pioneer era since 1933 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
