Vandalia State House Paper Model - by Build Your Own Main Street

Vandalaia is a two-story Greek Revival structure of white painted brick.

The Vandalia State House, the fourth Illinois statehouse, served as the capitol from 1836 until 1839 and is the oldest surviving capitol building in the state. The first (1818-1820) was at Kaskaskia, the state’s first capital city. The second (1820-1823), third (1824-1836), and fourth (1836-1839) were at Vandalia. In 1974 the Vandalia State House was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Today the State House is an Illinois Historic Preservation Agency State Historic Site.

The Real Thing,  In The 1850s And Today

Localizada no centro de um quarteirão no centro de Vandalia, a Casa do Estado é uma estrutura de dois andares no estilo revivalista grego, feita de tijolos e pintada de branco. Pórticos nos lados norte e sul da construção foram refeitos, tentando reproduzir os originais de 1850. O primeiro andar contém um hall de entrada grande e salões que representam os cargos de Auditor, Tesoureiro e Secretário de Estado, e do Supremo Tribunal. O segundo andar é composto por um hall central e câmaras recriando as salas originais da Câmara e o Senado.
