Pre-digital from my old 35mm neg. These are the early 1800s town houses which used to be situated on the corner of St. Anne Street and Springfield, their address being numbers 1 and 3 Springfield. They housed a doctors practice for many decades previously. Does anyone remember going there?
They were listed Grade II at one time but this did not save them from demolition. This was mainly because they had been neglected for so long beforehand and were well beyond economic repair. They were boarded up when I took this photo around 1992 and were still boarded up ten years later. In truth they were plain and lacking much interest, except for an exquisite fanlight.
The adjacent properties at numbers 5 and 7 Springfield (not in picture) were lodging houses run by the Bushell family. They owned the late Victorian cork warehouse building further down Springfield on the corner of Harker Street. A new fire station now occupies the whole corner site. Holy Trinity church used to occupy the cleared land opposite.

We drove on Old Route 66 in Springfield Illinois. We looked at the Capital as we drove by since there was not a parking space for an RV to be found.
Willamette Heights Park is the home of Springfield's monolith. Now hidden in the trees, graffitied, and a party site, long ago the big "S" would have been visible from the valley floor.
Springfield Union Station as it appears today. The clock tower was part of the original station, removed in 1946 and rebuilt in a 2007 renovation. Besides the IC, Union Station served the B&O, CP&St.L and St.LP&N.

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. Major tourist attractions include multiple sites connected with Lincoln including his presidential library and museum, his home, and his 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.

Springfield had a pair of these Olympians that were bought by United Counties in 1991, both of which went into preservation in the Midlands before returning to service with Lawsons of Corby. An O-licence is now held in the name of Springfield Bus & Coach (West Anglia), based initially in Corby but now in Brackley, but there is no evidence that this bus has ever operated on it.
