A view of the west side of the Logan County Courthouse Square (right) in the 100 block of S. Kickapoo St. in downtown, Lincoln. Also shown is the north side of the 400 block of Pulaski St. (left). All of the buildings in this late afternoon street view lie within the Lincoln Courthouse Square Historic District added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. The district is rich with commercial buildings erected in the late 19th century.
First settled in the 1830s, Lincoln is the only town in the United States that was named for Abraham Lincoln before he became president. Mr. Lincoln practiced law here from 1847 to 1859. The seat of Logan County, Lincoln is situated in central Illinois approximately 26 miles northeast of Springfield, the state capitol. The population of Lincoln at the 2020 census was 13,288.
A view of the south side of the 400 block of E. Monroe Street as seen looking west from Fifth Street in downtown Springfield. The buildings in this view lie within the Central Springfield Historic District listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
The buildings seen here on the south side of the 400 block of E. Monroe 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.
A view of the northwest corner of the Old State Capitol Plaza showing the 100 block of N. Fifth St. on the right, and the 400 block of E. Washington St. on the left. The buildings in this view lie within the Central Springfield Historic District listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
The handsome, Beaux Arts style building on the corner is the Stuart Broadwell Building. Located catty-corner from the Old State Capitol Building in downtown Springfield, the structure was built in 1917 for Broadwell's Drug Store and remained a drug store until 1981. Since then the building has been home to a variety of retail establishments on the ground floor, and professional offices on the second and third floors.
A view of the west side of the square, known as Library Park, in the 400 block of N. State St., the main business street in downtown Litchfield. The largest city in Montgomery County, Litchfield is located in South Central Illinois less than an hour drive from Illinois' Capital City of Springfield to the north, and St. Louis, Missouri to the south. Two separate alignments of historic U.S. Route 66 (a.k.a. the Mother Road ) run through Litchfield. It is a city known for its Route 66 icons, expansive lake, and lush landscapes. The population of Litchfield at the 2020 census was 6,605.
A view looking northwest on Edwards St. with 2nd St. behind me. On the near right is the Duke Bros. Building. In 1880 Thomas and William organized the Duke Brothers Agricultural Warerooms. They sold Carriages, Wagons and Farm Implements. The Dukes continued in business until 1957. Duke Bros were a old time International Harvester Co. - McCormick Deering Dealership and Hardware Store in Henry. The building is now the location of Henry Hometown Hardware.
Henry is a city in Marshall County, Illinois. The population of Henry was 2,320 at the 2020 census. The city is considered part of the Peoria Metropolitan Statistical Area. Its slogan, "Best Town in Illinois by a Dam Site," is derived from the city's distinction of having the first lock and dam built on the Illinois River.
This faded ghost sign encouraging viewers to "Smoke Greenback Tobacco" can be found in an alley in the 400 block of Pulaski St. in downtown Lincoln. Greenback Tobacco was a brand of Marburg Bros. Tobacco Processing Co. The brand used “plug cut” North Carolinian tobacco and was processed in Baltimore, Md. The mural is dated by an 1890s frog logo for Greenback Tobacco that can be partially seen to the left of the One Way sign.
This block on Pulaski St. lies within the Lincoln Courthouse Square Historic District that was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
Lincoln is the seat of Logan County, which is situated in central Illinois approximately 26 miles northeast of Springfield, the state capitol. The estimated population of Lincoln in 2018 was 13,685.

A view of the south side of the 400 block of E. Monroe Street as seen looking west from Fifth Street in downtown Springfield. All of the buildings pictured were constructed in the final quarter of the 19th century.
Starting on the corner and moving west down the block, all but one of the buildings shown are Romanesque Revival (corner and fourth building) or Italianate (second, third and fifth building) designs. The exception is the large building at the opposite end of the block with the mid-century modern facade. Completed as the Odd Fellows Building in 1896, the structure was altered to its present look in 1963 and now offices of the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS).
The first and fourth buildings were constructed by members of the Reisch Brothers who, in 1849, founded the Reisch Brewing Company of Springfield. The Brewery was located where the Southern Illinois University School of Medicine is located today.
With the exception of the heavily modified Odd Fellow/DCFS building, all of the buildings on this block are contributing to the Central Springfield Historic District listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Centered on the Old State Capitol, which served as the Illinois state house from 1840 to 1876, this area includes an outstanding number of two and three story late 19th and early 20th century commercial structures, intact for most part on the upper facades. These buildings included hotels, drug stores, groceries, clothing stores, and dry good stores. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, and was expanded in 1986 and 2015.
A view looking east from Fifth St. at the north side of the 400 block of N. Main St. in downtown Carrollton. This block sits catty corner to the northeast of the Greene County Courthouse, the heart of the Carrollton Courthouse Square Historic District listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. The district includes twelve large one-quarter blocks surrounding one full courthouse block. They constitute the public square and central business district of Carrolton. Most of the buildings in the district are 19th century two and three story commercial buildings.
The five commercial buildings in the block shown in this photo were all constructed between 1840 and 1890. From left to right: The 3-story brick building on the corner was constructed in 1870 for Keeley & Cavahaugh's grocery. The building now appears vacant. The two-story building next door to it was built in 1868 as a retail store by the name of A. Gears. Today it is the home of a restaurant known as Cooper, Stills & Mash (clever!)
The Second-Empire Style, 2-story commercial building in the center of the block was built in 1880 for the offices of the Carrollton Gazette newspaper. The final successor of the Carrolton Gazette, known as the Carrollton Gazette-Patriot, partially occupied this building until publication ceased in 2007.
Next to the Gazette Building is a single-story commercial building constructed in 1890 for a millinery. Lastly at the opposite end of the block is the former Hotel Pierson. Originally built as a single family home in 1840, the building was twice expanded on its way to becoming a hotel. It now appears to be a mixed-use residential and commercial building housing Sol, a Mexican restaurant, on its ground floor.
Carrollton is the seat of Greene County. The estimated population of Carrollton in 2019 was 2,398. Greene County is located in the southernmost section of West Central Illinois.
Located on the east side of Library Park is this former Elks Lodge. The building was constructed in 1923 for Litchfield's Elks Lodge No. 654, which formed in 1901. This building was paid for with about $125,000 in bonds that were paid off in 1941.
Architect Oliver W. Stiegemeyer designed the building in a Classical Revival style with a significant Beaux-Arts influence, particularly in its form. The main section of the front facade has five bays and features terra cotta pilasters along the corner bays. The building's front porch, which projects from the three center bays, has a balustrade supported by three arches and decorated with terra cotta. The red tile mansard roof has five dormers and a bracketed cornice along the bottom.
In the basement was a swimming pool and bowling alley. The pool only lasted a few years because of the operating expense. The bowling alley was used for many years. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. The Elks moved out of the building in 1987, and the building has since been repurposed as rental apartments.
Litchfield, a city in Montgomery County, is located in South Central Illinois less than an hour drive from Illinois' Capital City of Springfield to the north, and St. Louis, Missouri to the south. Two separate alignments of historic U.S. Route 66 (a.k.a. the Mother Road ) run through Litchfield. It is a city known for its Route 66 icons, expansive lake, and lush landscapes. The population of Litchfield at the 2020 census was 6,605.
A view of the east side of the 400 block of S. Main St. in downtown Hillsboro. Located steps away from the Opera House shown in my previous post is this three-story building formerly known as the Hamilton Hotel.
The building is a two-part block commercial style form that was the most common form for the small and moderate-sized commercial buildings in the United States between 1900 and 1930. This type of building is generally limited to two to four stories, and is characterized by a horizontal division into two distinct zones that typically reflects differences in its interior use. The street level indicates public spaces for commercial enterprises, while the upper section suggests more private spaces reserved for offices, meeting halls or apartments.
In the case of the Hamilton Hotel, the ground floor was designed for retail space and, for many years, was occupied by furniture stores. The second floor of the building was reserved for four residential apartments. This left the top floor to be developed as hotel rooms. One interesting note is the ground floor of the Hamilton briefly provided space for the Hillsboro's U.S. Post Office prior to the construction of a permanent building in the mid-1930s.
Today the former Hamilton Hotel is home to a Century 21 Real Estate Office and Bre's Beehive, a beauty salon on the ground floor. I am not certain of the upper floor usage, but guess that some if not all of the space is being used for apartments.
Hillsboro is the seat of Montgomery County. This south central Illinois city is located 50 miles south of the Illinois State Capitol in Springfield, and 65 miles northeast of St. Louis, Missouri. Health care and social assistance, public administration, and finance and insurance are Hillsboro's largest industries. The population of Hillsboro at the 2020 Census was 5,808, and the population of Montgomery County was 28,288.

While out shooting on State I came across a young man doing tricks outside of Freedom Skate Shop, and his board flipped I noticed he was representing the shop well. These little details led me to get an action shot, and the story behind the freedom rider of sorts. As I stood back and watched in amazement, he eventually caught on that he was being watched. He stopped and stood on the curb and thus began conversation towards becoming my newest member of the 100 more strangers project.
Caesar moved to Madison a couple years ago from Tuscon, Arizona thus he was in for more a change of atmosphere then he bargained for. Not only was Madison a much smaller city (with the big city feel) but it also had much colder winters. While Tuscon gets cold, as much of Arizona being a desert does; Madison is whole other planet when it comes to cold. Especially after the Polar Vortex that took over much of the Midwest in 2014. As we chatted, Caesar informed me that he was being watched not only by the passer by but by a member of the Madison Police Department. I looked a little further down State and sure enough there sat a sharp looking, black Dodge Charger. I couldn't make out a face from a distance, but the lights and push bar were obvious signs of it being a squad.
State Street is a pedestrian mall and no through traffic except for bikers, buses, taxis, and emergency vehicles are allowed. It's kind of strange that one on a board with wheels is not allowed to do tricks and freely roam the street (in a safe manner being aware of the surroundings). But Caesar is willing to risk it, for he loves to skate and such is his life. In a sense it his his freedom to do so, aside from what the law says. I asked Caesar if I could include him in the 100 strangers project and he agreed with no concerns. The cop suddenly flipped on his lights and sped down State, this was a blessing in disguise for the both of us.
He plugged his headphones into his ears and attempted to do a trick for me, to make for a more unique stranger shot. After adjusting my settings and turning my 5D Mark II onto burst I was ready. I crouched in the middle of State Street as bikers and taxis went around me. It was slightly intimidating, but for the betterment of my art I stood my ground. As the officer was gone, we had free reign of the street, board under his feet and camera to my eye. Clicking frames away carelessly, I eventually found myself with the perfect shot to tell the story. Moving back to the curb, as as couple buses wanted to through I gave Caesar a card so he could email for a copy of this shot. As I left with a new friend, I knew I had a greater sense of the street scene in town. So I wish this upon anyone on State, ride on and have a nice day!

First Baptist Church is on North Roberson Street in Chapel Hill, North Carolina in Orange County.
First Baptist Church was organized on September 3, 1865, out of The Baptist Church of Chapel Hill, now the University Baptist Church, by Rev. Eddie H. Cole. Rev. Cole was one of the first African American ministers ordained and sent out the white congregation with the authority to organize churches in the Chapel Hill area for African Americans. Since its inception, our church has had four names: Colored Baptist Church, First Baptist Church, Rock Hill Baptist Church and then the First Baptist Church, again.
From the minutes of the University Baptist Church, dated September 3, 1865, on page 152, the following was written: “On motion, it was unanimously voted that the colored patrons of this church be allowed to withdraw from the church and organize a church to themselves.” It is further noted on page 154, from the Annual Report for 1865, “Four members have been dismissed by letter besides sixty-one colored members dismissed in September for the purpose of forming a separate church. This separate church, known as the Colored Baptist Church of Chapel Hill, is now in an acceptable operation and hopes are entertained of its doing well.” As a gift, the University Baptist Church donated pulpit furniture to the Colored Baptist Church.
Under Rev. Cole’s leadership, the congregation met in The Quaker Building, an old schoolhouse on Franklin Street until their own small church was erected on Franklin Street, opposite from the Colonial Drug Company. After Rev. Cole’s death, Rev. Eli Mitchell, a student at Shaw University, served as pastor for one year.
In 1877, Rev. L.H. Hackney, also a Shaw University student, became the third pastor of this congregation and served for sixty years (1877-1937). Under his administration, the congregation grew so rapidly that the original building became too small. Another building was erected, which stood on the same site as the original church until 1953 when the next building was completed. Reverend Hackney was a public school education who was known as a fearless preacher. As his health declined, in later years, Rev. J.H. Jones was called to become his assistant pastor, a position he held for two years. Rev. Hackney retired in January of 1937.
In August of 1937, Rev. J.R. Standford, another Shaw University student, was called as pastor. Under his leadership, the old church was remodeled and a building fund was started. Rev. Standford served as pastor for nine years (1937-1946) before accepting the call to become the pastor of the Second Baptist Church in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and then Zion Hill Baptist Church in Newark, New Jersey.
In September of 1946, the Rev. J.R. Manley, from Shaw University, became the fifth called pastor of this historic congregation. Under his guidance and leadership, the congregation more than tripled its membership. A new site was purchased, and a new brick edifice was erected for the cost of $110,000 and a parsonage for the cost of $10,000, as well as other property, at a cost of $7,500. Through the untiring efforts of Dr. Manley and the splendid working spirit of the congregation, the mortgages of these properties were burned on December 2, 1956. Eventually, First Baptist Church erected a new parsonage for the cost of $40,000, as well as an educational building and an elevator for the church. Dr. J.R. Manley retired in January of 201, after serving sixty-five years as pastor. Dr. J.R. Manley currently serves as the Pastor Emeritus of FBC.
In August of 2013, history was made again, at the First Baptist Church of Chapel Hill, when Dr. Rodney L. Coleman became the sixth called pastor of this historic church. With God’s help and blessings, the support of the FBC congregation, under the leadership of Dr. Rodney Coleman, FBC has increased numerically, with over 50 newly baptized believers, and approximately 200 new members, who have joined under watch care and by Christian experience. Various existing ministries have grown in membership and several new ministries have been created (Community Action and Political Awareness Ministry, Pure Praise Dance Ministry, The Golden Delights Dance Ministry, the Praise and Worship Team, and a Grief Support Group). FBC has been blessed to launch a Children and Teen’s Ministry, which includes Children’s Church on 1st and 2nd Sundays and Teen’s Church on 3rd and 4th Sunday. Under Dr. Coleman’s spiritual guidance and administration, FBC has been blessed to revamp its College Ministry which resulted in a dramatic increase in consistent and active college students each Sunday. In addition, two deacons and three trustees, a Ministry of Outreach, a Minister of Worship and the hiring of a Minister of Music, Assistant Pastor, and music staff.
FBC was blessed to upgrade its audio and video ministry, which included new audio and video equipment, with the capability of recording worship services and streaming online. This has resulted in the addition of “FBC Satellite Members” as well as online giving capabilities.
Before the passing of our Pastor Emeritus, Dr. J.R. Manley, Pastor Coleman initiated the J.R. Manley Scholarship/Internship Fund, in honor of Dr. Manley, to be awarded to a student in ministry or community development.
FBC continues to commit to and carry out its motto, “Building People While Building the Kingdom.”

It took some searching,but I found another 2-bolt dinosaur worth rebuilding that would have some cylinder thickness left after a .030" overbore.The block looked like it was more than 30 years old when I started[because it is] it's at the shop waiting for the rest of the machine work.The list includes:hot tank/degrease,magnaflux for cracks,sonic test for cylinder thickness,bottom tap bolt holes for main studs and align- hone,tap{chase} head bolt holes,groove/hone lifter bores,drill/tap starter bolt hole for straight pattern{for aftermarket starter},stroke check crank for deck height and square deck block,clearance check rotating assy.,bore +.030"& hone block w/deck plates and file gap rings for individual piston/cylinder fit,check cam bearing bore alignment and install/fit cam bearings,final wash block.Some of what was done I could have done myself at home but for the price and hassle of taking the block back and forth I was happy to have it all done at the shop.Here is a link to an interview with our local speed shop owner that did all the block work on my engine:

This is a link to a old article that stirred my idea of what to do with my old 400 4-bolt main block core,some of the changes I did was planned from the start,like compression ratio,cam choice,rod choice for added rod/lobe clearance,other changes were due to budget and what will best suit the overall plan{used 2-bolt main block},so I ended up building a engine with alot of differences,but this article is what gave me the "basic plan".
