Looking West On Monroe From 5th Street, Springfield, Illinois

A view of the south side of the 400 block of E. Monroe St. in the Central Springfield Historic District listed in the National Register of Historic Places. All of the buildings in this view were constructed in the final quarter of the 19th century. The taller building partially shown on the far right is the Odd Fellows Building built in 1896, and extensively altered in 1965 when given a Mid-Century Modern facade. The building houses the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services. All of the other buildings in this block more or less retain their original Italianate and Romanesque Revival architectural style.
