Terrazzo entrance to the Illinois Building, 607 East Adams Street, Springfield, Illinois. CIPS stands for "Central Illinois Public Service", a local energy utility. Built in 1927-1931, this Art Deco building was designed by Law, Law, and Potter to serve as the home of the Central Illinois Public Service Company. The 15-story building was then the largest commercial office building in Illinois outside of Chicago, and stands 201 feet 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. The building today houses multiple office and retail tenants.

Leonard, a druggist and chemist in business since 1890.

the customer area in the old section of the Springfield Post Office has been opened to the public. What a wonderful room.... Remember when public buildings were officious, serious and imposing? This is it! Even the edging at the ceiling was beautiful.

This was a "Waldbaum's Foodmart"
It was never converted to a "Super Foodmart," however....
When the names were changed on all stores to "A&P Super foodmart" about a year before it's sale, the facade was changed, as it still had the then way outdated look of the Elmwood store, but no store remodel.
Now a "Food 1 Supermarket," the second occupant since the sale.
