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.
