Springfield has its share of odd sights along the road. You might bump into an old, damaged green elephant advertising a defunct record store, a pink elephant with a giant martini, or even a 30-foot tall statue of young Abe Lincoln at the state fair grounds. Springfield, Illinois. (Nathanael Miller, 31 March 2018)
Built in 1869, this Italianate-style house was gifted by Judge William Wilson to his son-in-law, Dr. Bernard Stuve, and his daughter, Mary Wilson Stuve, upon their marriage. The house features a painted exterior with quoins, a low-pitch hipped roof with gable ends and bracketed eaves, oxeye attic windows, arched one-over-one double-hung windows, and porches with rectilinear columns and hipped roofs. The house is part of the Lincoln Home National Historic Site, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.

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.
