Built in 1852, this Italianate-style building was constructed to serve as a passenger station on the Great Western Railroad at Springfield, and was heavily renovated after a fire in 1857. The building was originally one story in height, and was the location of Lincoln’s Farewell Address in 1861, when he left Springfield for Washington, DC to serve as the President of the United States. The building was expanded in 1900 with the addition of a second floor, at which time the Great Western Railroad had merged with several other railroads to form what was initially known as the Toledo, Wabash, and Western Railroad in 1865, later known as the Wabash Railroad after 1877. The building served as a freight station beginning in the late 19th Century, and was utilized by a variety of businesses, including serving as a warehouse, before being heavily damaged by a major fire in 1968. After the fire, the building was restored to its circa 1900 appearance, and was utilized as a museum, becoming affiliated with Sangamon State University between 1977 and 1980, but being discontinued due to a lack of funding during the public austerity spearheaded by the Reagan administration. The building subsequently was managed by the Copley Press, who owned the building and the local newspaper known as The State Journal-Register, until 2012, when the building was sold to attorney Jon Gray Noll. Roll undertook a major rehabilitation of the building, moving his law offices to the second floor, and opening the first floor as a museum. The building features a red brick exterior, brick pilasters, arched bays containing six-over-six and two-over-two windows, a low-pitch gabled roof with large brackets, and a modern concrete ramp alongside the railroad tracks. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.

Home of the Simpson's. Click or Clack of Car Talk (who can tell them apart) is fond of saying there is a town named Springfield in every state in the nation, well, here is the South Carolina one. Yes, that is rain pouring down. Every Post Office in this gallery was taken on the same rainy Sunday morning, but this was the only picture I had to stand under an umbrella to take. (02/15/04)
