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.

Illinois State Capitol Building: ground was broken for the new capitol on March 11, 1868, and the building was completed in 1888.
Fine Display By High School Girls
Parents viewing the outstanding display in arts and home science yesterday at the State High School, had reason to be proud of the children, and thankful to the teachers in charge.
The cooking of the girls, under the supervision of Mrs. D. Hoyle, teacher-in-charge, and Misses S. Springfield, M. Monro and J. Carstens, showed a wonderful degree of skill.
...
In the cooking section there was a wide variety of sponge sandwiches, large tarts in the following variety: heavenly, coconut, lemon cheese, caramel, merangue, pineapple, banana, all were piped with merangue or mock cream.
Small cakes were in the shape of frogs, bunnies, clowns, baskets, and coconut balls.
These cakes were on sale as were the beautiful sweets - coconut ice, date creams, russian toffee, chocolate fudge, nougat, fondants, pascals, and marshmallows.

Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illinois_State_Capitol
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.
Built in 1882 and renovated in the 1930s to its present Art Deco-style appearance, this building was formerly the home of a Kresge Department Store location. The building features a buff brick exterior, decorative spandrel panels, limestone trim, geometric motifs, including ziggurat-shaped brick panels over the third-floor windows, one-over-one double-hung windows, decorative piers, and a heavily modified first floor facade. 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.
Built in 1927-1931, this Art Deco-style building was designed by Law, Law and Potter to serve as the home of the Central Illinois Public Service Company, which was a local energy utility in the Springfield area, though the building is more commonly known as the Illinois Building. The 15-story building was then the largest commercial office building in Illinois outside of Chicago, and stands 201 feet (61 meters) 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, and expanded to its present size in 2016. The building today houses multiple office and retail tenants.

The concept came to life during an event that started September 2017, to help raise funds to benefit downtown revitalization. It’s a pop up art event in where you can watch artists compete to create a mural in one day and unveil it during a reception party that night. Each year the murals change, making this a great spot to visit and wander through and take pics or the amazing artwork!
Built in 1859, this Italianate-style house was constructed for Illinois State Auditor Jesse K. DuBois, a close friend of Abraham Lincoln, who lived in the house until 1864. The house features a wooden clapboard-clad exterior, a low-pitch hipped roof with bracketed eaves, six-over-six double-hung windows with shutters, a front porch with an open pier foundation and decorative brackets, and a two-panel wooden front door with a decorative trim surround. The house is part of the Lincoln Home National Historic Site, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.

W. Leffel House
704 S. Fountain Ave.
Built circa 1875
A number of important business and industry leaders lived along South Fountain Ave. - especially those associated with the most successful early industries. Warren Leffel, who lived in this home, was son and partner to James Leffel in the "Leffel water wheel" interest. James was the founder of James Leffel Co. (founded 1862) which is still to this day an important industry in Springfield specializing in the design and manufacture of hydraulic turbines.
