State Capitol
The Illinois State Capitol, located in Springfield, Illinois, is the building that houses the executive and legislative branches of the government of the U.S. state of Illinois. The current structure is the sixth to serve as the capitol building since Illinois became a part of the United States in 1818. The capitol is in the architectural style of the French Renaissance and was designed by Cochrane and Garnsey, an architecture and design firm based in Chicago.
Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.

Leica M3, Fujichrome Sensia 200 expired 04/2009. My work habits were worst-case scenario. This film was in the M3 from August until Dec. 2024. I'm ashamed of myself for that! One of the late pictures on this film, really bad flare and I'm not sure why (Gee Bobby, could it be that you left the film in your damn M3 for too many months????)

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.
Built in 1897-1898, this Richardsonian Romanesque Revival-style building was designed by Francis T. Baron to serve as a Union Station for Springfield, Illinois. The station was a joint effort between the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O Railroad), Chicago, Peoria, and St. Louis Railroad (CP&StL), and Illinois Central Railroad, and later served the short-lived St. Louis, Peoria and North Western Railway. The station’s original 110 foot (34 meter) tall three-story tower was removed in 1946, ten years after the clock faces had been deactivated as a cost-saving measure during the Great Depression. It served as a passenger train station until 1971, when service was discontinued, in favor of Amtrak utilizing the through-running station along the Chicago and Alton Railroad lines, later known as the Gulf, Mobile and Ohio Railroad (GMO), just a few blocks to the west of the station. The building features a multi-colored brick exterior with dark red and light red bricks present alongside buff brick, stone trim, arched bays, a hipped roof, hipped dormers, a large canopy on the Madison Street facade with brick piers and large brackets, which was the former passenger platform alongside the railroad tracks, and a reconstructed tower with four turrets, a pyramidal hipped roof, and four clock faces. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. After passenger train service was discontinued, the building served as offices for the State of Illinois until 2004. Between 2004 and 2007, the building was restored to its original exterior appearance, with the reconstruction of the clock tower and restoration of historic exterior elements. Today, the building serves as the visitor center for the nearby Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library.
FWD's again -- I filmed the "big" cars, but my movies were a lot longer and Flickr will only accept 'em if they're under a minute.
Same as I said around this time last year, I am very impressed with Springfield Raceway. From a spectator's point of view, it was a pretty cool show -- as a racer sittin' in the stands, I wished I had my car with me for so many reasons. There's a lot to be said for careful racing, and there's more to it than just a night with few crashes. These guys are within a few weeks of ending their season, they've been at this every weekend since about March; and most of the cars still look great, they're not all beat to hell. Seems to me they're a lot more willing to let out and avoid instead of just ramming one another, and that's a very beautiful thing.
Springfield Racers, I salute you! If it weren't for the three-hour drive, The TwentyCarlo would be oh so proud to be there amongst ya!

Union Station was built in 1898 and was used primarily by the Illinois Central. It has been beautifully restored and re-opened as the Springfield Visitor Center in 2007.
