Stratton Building, known more commonly on a local level as the Stratton Building, is an eight-story office building located on the grounds of the Illinois State Capitol in downtown Springfield, Illinois. HistoryCompleted in 1956,[1] the building is named after former Illinois politician William G. "Billy" Stratton, who served as the 32nd Governor of Illinois from 1953 until 1961.[2] The Stratton Building currently houses legislative offices of the Illinois House of Representatives and Illinois Senate, as well as other State of Illinois agency offices. The building has been targeted for closure in the past,[3] with former Governor Jim Edgar criticizing the building's architecture and a former state representative, now the Illinois Department of Natural Resources assistant director[4], Rich Brauer, calling the Stratton Building, "way beyond its time", and championing the construction of a new office building on the Capitol grounds.[5] In May 2004, the Illinois House voted, 94-18, to close the Stratton Building[6], but the bill was not called for a vote in the Illinois Senate. The building is also often the subject of articles in the Springfield State Journal-Register about its lights being on nearly around the clock, despite the absence of employees working in the building. As recently as January 2017, representatives of the state have pointed out that the building's age and lack of wiring upgrades since it was constructed would be cost prohibitive on the state's budget to repair.[7] During a recent lengthy budget impasse, the State of Illinois fell over $5 million behind on payment of electric bills to the city of Springfield's public utility, CWLP.[8] References1. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.sj-r.com/x488839420/Stratton-Building-gets-no-respect-but-wont-be-cheap-to-replace|title=Stratton won't go away without trouble, expense|last=Rushton|first=Bruce|work=The State Journal|access-date=2018-06-14|language=en}} 2. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.illinoisancestors.org/governors/stratton.html|title=Illinois Governors: William Stratton|last=Crandell|first=Janine|website=www.illinoisancestors.org|access-date=2018-06-14}} 3. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.sj-r.com/article/20100524/NEWS/305249887|title=Plans to demolish Stratton Building on hold|work=The State Journal|access-date=2018-06-15|language=en}} 4. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.sj-r.com/opinion/20180103/bernard-schoenburg-brauer-moves-from-idot-to-dnr|title=Bernard Schoenburg: Brauer moves from IDOT to DNR|last=Schoenburg|first=Bernard|work=The State Journal|access-date=2018-06-15|language=en}} 5. ^{{Cite news|url=http://illinoistimes.com/article-7388-cheeseparing-in-the-capitol-complex.html|title=Cheeseparing in the Capitol complex|access-date=2018-06-15|language=en-US}} 6. ^{{Cite news|url=http://illinoistimes.com/article-1225-the-stratton-building%C2%92s-midlife-crisis.html|title=The Stratton Building's midlife crisis|access-date=2018-06-15|language=en-US}} 7. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.sj-r.com/news/20170113/antiquated-system-leaves-stratton-buildings-lights-on-overnight|title=Antiquated system leaves Stratton Building's lights on overnight|last=Bureau|first=Brian Robbins, State Capitol|work=The State Journal|access-date=2018-06-15|language=en}} 8. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.sj-r.com/news/20171110/state-owes-cwlp-55-million-holiday-lights-will-still-go-up-on-capitol|title=State owes CWLP $5.5 million; holiday lights will still go up on Capitol|last=Thomas|first=Crystal|work=The State Journal|access-date=2018-06-15|language=en}} External links
