This is a property in Springfield Road that my Great Grandparents once owned. Both my Great Grandmother and my Great Grandfather can be seen stood in the doorway of the 3-storey property. I think the bunting would've been to commemorate the coronation of King George VI in 1936. This could be right as I know my Great Grandparents lived in Meadowside during WW2 and the FOR SALE board can be seen clearly in the front garden behind the iron railings.
As a child I recall the property and the adjoining 2-storey property on the left and a later view of this house can be seen here:-

The Old State Capitol Building served as the capitol of the State of Illinois from 1839 until 1876. Abraham Lincoln spent a great deal of time here as a lawyer. Today it is a State Historic Site and the interior has been reconstructed to it's 1860 appearance.
Union Station was built in 1898 and was used primarily by the Illinois Central. It has been beautifully restored and re-opened as the Springfield Visitor Center in 2007.

Springfield is the capital of the U.S. state of Illinois and the county seat and largest city of Sangamon County. The city's population was 116,250 at the 2010 U.S. Census, which makes it the state's sixth most-populous city, the second largest outside of the Chicago metropolitan area (after Rockford), and the largest in central Illinois. As of 2019, the city's population was estimated to have decreased to 114,230, with just over 211,700 residents living in the Springfield Metropolitan Statistical Area, which includes Sangamon County and the adjacent Menard County.
Present-day Springfield was settled by European Americans in the late 1810s, around the time Illinois became a state. The most famous historic resident was Abraham Lincoln, who lived in Springfield from 1837 until 1861, when he went to the White House as President of the United States. Major tourist attractions include multiple sites connected with Lincoln including the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, Lincoln Home National Historic Site, Lincoln-Herndon Law Offices State Historic Site, and the Lincoln Tomb at Oak Ridge Cemetery.
The city lies in a valley and plain near the Sangamon River. Lake Springfield, a large artificial lake owned by the City Water, Light & Power company (CWLP), supplies the city with recreation and drinking water. Weather is fairly typical for middle latitude locations, with four distinct seasons, including, hot summers and cold winters. Spring and summer weather is like that of most midwestern cities; severe thunderstorms may occur. Tornadoes hit the Springfield area in 1957 and 2006.
The city has a mayor–council form of government and governs the Capital Township. The government of the state of Illinois is based in Springfield. State government institutions include the Illinois General Assembly, the Illinois Supreme Court and the Office of the Governor of Illinois. There are three public and three private high schools in Springfield. Public schools in Springfield are operated by District No. 186. Springfield's economy is dominated by government jobs, plus the related lobbyists and firms that deal with the state and county governments and justice system, and health care and medicine.

The concept came to life during an event that started September 2017, to help raise funds to benefit downtown revitalization. It’s a pop up art event in where you can watch artists compete to create a mural in one day and unveil it during a reception party that night. Each year the murals change, making this a great spot to visit and wander through and take pics or the amazing artwork!

The creators of the Simpsons obviously appreciate the old style of school architecture. I wonder if this building really exists somewhere?

This building was part of the Springfield Armory in Springfield, MA. It is not part of the National Park Service Museum area which is about a mile away. This part of the Armory was orginially powered by water of Mill Creek. A large lake is located behind this building. There is no water power located at the main Armory property.

One of Amtrak's Springfield Shuttles slows to stop at Windsor Locks CT, where we would board for the fairly short trip to New Haven. This was just a few months before the new CT Rail commuter service launched on the Hartford Line. P42 108 was the power on the opposite end.
