Room 212 in the Capitol was originally the home of the Illinois Supreme Court.  This beautiful room was modeled after the Doge's palace in Venice.  The pictures below were taken after the renovation of Room 212,  which restored the room to the splendor of those early days.

The mural on the ceiling represents the goddess of justice trampling on coins - indicating that in Illinois, justice is not for sale.  A dim representation of the Capitol may be seen to the lower right of the flag.
