Built between 1863 and 1866, this Italianate-style house was constructed for Henson Robinson, a merchant who sold stoves, furnaces, and tin goods, as well as manufacturing plates and cups out of tin for the United States Army. The house features a front-gable roof, six-over-six and six-over-nine double-hung windows with decorative trim surrounds and shutters, a small arched attic window, a front porch with rectilinear columns, an open pier foundation, decorative brackets, and a decorative wooden balustrade on the roof. The house is part of the Lincoln Home National Historic Site, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.
Built in 1973, this Modern New Formalist building features a concrete panel-clad exterior, projected bays with windows on the narrow sides that are perpendicular to the street, increasing privacy while still allowing for natural light inside the building, a semi-circular portico at the semi-circular entrance, which features a glass curtain wall at the rear, and a lobby with a decorative abstract geometric mural on the wall above the entrance. The building is a noncontributing 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.
I was lucky enough to be invited to a private railway in the Midlands. It was also a great opportunity to catch up with Lawrie so we met at the railway. The owner foolishly said, what would you like to see... We compromised on everything but kick us out when we become a pain.
Diema DS12 1553/53
What a fabulous atmosphere - the locos are well-cared for but still have that industrial feel and they have a real job to do - horsefeed and supplies in: by-products out. As you can see there are a variety of realistic trains available to use and not a passenger carriage or steam loco to be seen. It took me right back to my visits to German Peatworks, especially with the Diema in the weeds.

Springfield has its share of odd sights along the road. You might bump into an old, damaged green elephant advertising a defunct record store, a pink elephant with a giant martini, or even a 30-foot tall statue of young Abe Lincoln at the state fair grounds. Springfield, Illinois. (Nathanael Miller, 31 March 2018)
Built in 1928-1930, this Classical Revival-style building was designed by James A. Wetmore to serve as a United States Post Office and Federal Courthouse for the city of Springfield, Illinois. The building is clad in limestone with a colonnade of two-story engaged fluted ionic columns on the principal facade along Monroe Street, flanked by arched entrance bays on the first floor, with a cornice featuring dentils at the top of the second floor, doric pilasters flanking the window bays on the third floor, six-over-six and nine-over-nine double-hung windows, decorative trim at the top of the building’s parapet, and a metal hipped roof. 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.
