COVER / The State Capitol of Illinois is shown by Springfield artist William H. Crook, Jr., from its west side facing Spring Street in Springfield. The legislature moved into the building in 1876, but the Capitol was not fully completed until 1888 at a cost of $4.5 million. Renovations and repairs began almost immediately, and a major renovation is still in progress today.
