A three-quarter view of the Illinois Supreme Court Building in Springfield, a long Neoclassical granite structure with a heavy cornice, tall pilasters and rows of windows, set behind a lawn with young trees and an American flag flying from the roof. The building was completed in 1908 on a site facing the State Capitol and has served as the seat of the Illinois Supreme Court since then. The caption names it plainly as the Supreme Court Building, Springfield, Illinois.
