We drove on Old Route 66 in Springfield Illinois. Looked at the Capital then headed east to Sangchris Lake.
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.
