This one is my favorite. To me, it captures the mood of this secretive building, hidden by trees and fenced with no-trespassing signs.
Here is my LEGO version of the "Springfield police station" from "The Simpsons" I built it a couple month ago but never had a chance to take pictures of it so here it is!

This building is another even mix between it's Tapped Out appearance and the one often seen in the show.
I was considering building the courthouse and/or Monty Burn's mansion but after building this I felt that the architectural styles were too similar, so I left them out of the layout in order to include more variety. Not that I can't do them in the future, of course.
Went to this location expecting to see a rare older decor, but as you will see starting Monday, that decor is no more.

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.

P&ARP Assignment #130 "Side Glints" entry
Built in 1839 and expanded and renovated in the Italianate style in 1856, this house was the home of Abraham Lincoln, and his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, along with their family, starting in 1844. The house was donated by the Lincoln family in 1887 to the State of Illinois to serve as a museum. The house was originally one-and-a-half-stories tall, and remained in its original configuration for most of the time Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd Lincoln lived in the house during the 1840s and 1850s. The five-bay-wide house features a brick base, a side-gable wooden shingle roof with bracketed eaves, six-over-six double-hung windows with shutters and decorative trim surrounds, a broad hipped rear ell, large corner trim, a rear porch with rectilinear columns and a cast iron railing wrapping around the roof, a wooden and brick fence surrounding the yard, and a large bay in the center of the front facade of the first floor, containing the front entrance door, which is flanked by sidelights. The house is part of the Lincoln Home National Historic Site, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971, and today is the centerpiece of the Lincoln Home National Historic Site, serving as a museum that interprets the circa 1860 appearance of the house, the year Abraham Lincoln was elected president.

Springfield Mill in Sandiacre was built in 1888 as a lace factory for Terah Hooley, a wealthy local industrialist, by architect John Sheldon of Long Eaton. The total capacity of the factory was originally 160 machines. It has now been converted to apartments and is listed Grade II.

Built in the early 1840s and massively expanded in the 1850s and 1860s, this Italianate-style house was originally constructed by Reverend Charles Dresser, and was later sold to Peter Van Bergen, before being sold to Harriet Dean and Frederick Dean in 1849. Harriet Dean was widowed in the 1850s, and lived in the house until 1860, when she died, and the house was inherited by her son, Frederick Irwin Dean, who sold the house in 1861 to Matilda and Benjamin Richards, who expanded the house to its present size and renovated it to its present appearance. The house features a wooden clapboard-clad exterior, six-over-six double-hung windows with shutters, a low-pitch wooden shingle hipped roof with bracketed eaves, a brick base, a front porch with turned columns and decorative spindle work, a decorative paneled wooden front door, and a gabled two-story rear ell. The house is part of the Lincoln Home National Historic Site, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.

The Illinois State Capitol, located in Springfield, Illinois, houses the legislative and executive branches of the government of the U.S. state of Illinois. The current building is the sixth to serve as the capitol building since Illinois was admitted to the United States in 1818. Built in the architectural styles of the French Renaissance and Italianate, it was designed by Cochrane and Garnsey, an architecture and design firm based in Chicago. Ground was broken for the new capitol on March 11, 1868, and the building was completed twenty years later for a total cost of $4.5 million.
The building contains the chambers for the Illinois General Assembly, which is made up of the Illinois House of Representatives and the Illinois Senate. An office for the Governor of Illinois, additional offices, and committee rooms are also in the building. The capitol's footprint is cross-shaped, with four equal wings. Its tall central dome and tower roofs are covered in zinc to provide a silvery facade which does not weather. Architecture scholar Jean A. Follett describes it as a building that "is monumental in scale and rich in detail." The interior of the dome features a plaster frieze painted to resemble bronze, which illustrates scenes from Illinois history, and stained glass windows, including a stained glass replica of the state seal in the oculus of the dome.
