When was the second Illinois State Capitol constructed. And was it build by slaves?

Darryl Robinson | Sep 24, 2018
Cass C. | Sep 24, 2018

Construction began in 1868 took 20 years to complete. Illinois is was a free state at the time, and construction was not done by slave labor.

I'm doing a paper on the capitol is there any rooms you can't visit there

Owen Bauer | Sep 24, 2018
Kristen Smith | Sep 24, 2018

I know you can't go up the last set of stairs to go into the gallery balcony, and there are some roped off rooms you can only peer into. I would recommend a visit.
