Built in 1927-1931, this Art Deco-style building was designed by Law, Law and Potter to serve as the home of the Central Illinois Public Service Company, which was a local energy utility in the Springfield area, though the building is more commonly known as the Illinois Building. The 15-story building was then the largest commercial office building in Illinois outside of Chicago, and stands 201 feet (61 meters) tall. The building features a limestone-clad exterior with decorative green spandrel panels between most windows on the upper floors, decorative carved sculptural reliefs, a setback upper section of the tower, multiple first floor retail shopfronts, and a main entrance on Adams Street with a decorative Art Deco transom, pendant-style light fixtures, and green marble serpentinite cladding above the doorway. The building is a contributing structure in the Central Springfield Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, and expanded to its present size in 2016. The building today houses multiple office and retail tenants.

Springfield Charter Township is a charter township of Oakland County in the U.S. state of Michigan. As of the 2010 census, the township population was 13,940. The township was named for the numerous springs in the area.
Springfield Township was established by the Michigan Legislature on March 2, 1836. Civil government was first organized April 3, 1837. Springfield, one of the very first settlements in the area, began with a hotel along the Detroit and Saginaw Turnpike, now known as Dixie Highway. Andersonville, located at the intersection of Andersonville Road and Big Lake Road, was settled shortly thereafter in 1833, followed three years later by the hamlet of Davisburg.
The Detroit and Milwaukee Railway (now part of the Canadian National Railway) was built in 1856, and two stations were in the township, in Andersonville and Davisburg. The railroad provided a major impetus to growth. Agriculture was the mainstay of the local economy and trains allowed the farmers to ship produce and live stock to market and to receive supplies and equipment. By 1860 Springfield Township's population was 1,425.
In 1924, Dixie Highway was paved from Pontiac to Flint. With the decline of agriculture as a major economic activity in the township, residents began commuting to Pontiac and Flint for employment in the developing automotive factories, marking the beginning of the township's decline. By 1930, Springfield Township's population had fallen to 923. The township's decline would unexpectedly be reversed in the 1960s with the construction of Interstate 75. The accessibility provided by two interchanges accelerated residential growth in the late 1960s and 1970s. Population improved, going from 1,825 in 1950 to 2,664 in 1960, 4,388 in 1970, 6,502 in 1976, and 8,295 in 1980.
Springfield Township has had a long-standing commitment to zoning and planning dating back to the early 1950s. The Township Board adopted an interim zoning ordinance in early 1952, which contained five zoning districts. In 1965 an ordinance which contained 13 different zoning districts was adopted. Planning and zoning functions were coordinated with the adoption of the township's first Master Plan in 1972 and subsequently the adoption of an entirely new zoning ordinance the following year. The 1973 ordinance serves as a basis for the current zoning ordinance.
Out of concern for the residential growth during the 1970s and its effects on the entire township, the Planning Commission embarked on a comprehensive review of the Master Plan and the Zoning Map in the early 1980s. As a result, the revised Master Plan and Zoning Ordinance incorporated natural resource protection information and standards. This slowed the growth of Springfield Township during the decade, growing to 9,927 in 1990. Additional comprehensive reviews and updates were done in the early 1990s and again in 2002. The primary basis for the township’s planning, zoning and land use decisions for at least the last 20 years has been the protection and preservation of their abundant and very special natural resources.
Today, Springfield Township is home to many parks, including Springfield Oaks County Park, site of the annual Oakland County Fair, and Indian Springs Metropark. The township is also home to several churches, a few schools including Springfield Christian Academy (the township's only high school) and a handful of shopping areas. The township's population, which increased by a third in the 1990s, continued to grow through the first decade of the 21st century.
Springfield Township also houses a former Superfund site, The Springfield Township Dump.
Springfield Township is a member of the Clarkston Area Chamber of Commerce.

I actually drove all the way to Springfield, Massachusetts to take this photo. After I concluded my historical visit to LEGO Group in Connecticut, I drove up to Massachusetts and attempted to find a good vantage point to get a photo of my Simpsons figures in front of a sign with "Springfield" on it. I drove around the city for almost two hours, before finally reaching a shopping center with this sign nearby on a median strip. I ran across a main road and set up the frame, and used an empty cookie tin (which was conveniently laying around) as a platform for the figures.

Located at 5608 Apache Road, this Georgian Colonial mansion was built ca. 1790. Known as the Zachary Taylor House, or simply Springfield, it was the boyhood home of the 12th president of the United States, Zachary Taylor. Located in what is now a residential area of Louisville, Taylor lived there from 1785 to 1808, held his marriage there in 1810, and returned there periodically the rest of his life. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1961 and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966.
