November 24, 2004: Serving as the Illinois statehouse from 1839 to 1876, Springfield’s Old State Capitol building played an important role in Abraham Lincoln’s rise to political prominence. A daily visitor to the building, Lincoln delivered his memorable “House Divided” speech in its Representatives Hall during his campaign for the U.S. Senate. Although he lost that election, he was nominated to run for president two years later, and we all know how that turned out.  Picture and description complements of the Away Network.
