Again, taken while walking around Springfield. This was on one of the sidestreets outside of the Lincoln Library, a very neat picture (I thought).

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.

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.
