Oak Ridge Cemetery - Lincoln's Tomb. The Tomb and Lincoln's home were designated National Historic Landmarks on December 19, 1960, and automatically listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1966.
Built in 1866-1868, this Romanesque Revival-style building was constructed to house the First Presbyterian Church congregation, founded in 1828, and purchased the building from Third Presbyterian Church in 1876. The church most notably was the site of Mary Todd Lincoln’s funeral after her death in 1882. The building features a red brick exterior with roman arched bays containing stained glass windows and doors, romanesque machicolations, a rose window on the front gable, towers with low pyramidal hipped roofs, which replaced the original tall spires, steel reinforcing supports at the north and south facades, and an educational building on the west side of the building, at the rear of the sanctuary, added in 1928, which is clad in red brick with terra cotta trim. To the north of the historic building is a mid-20th Century two-story wing, which makes references to the architecture of the older sections of the complex in materials and the shape of the bays. 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.
Springfield is an old neighborhood in Jacksonville Florida. I love to go there, I found some pictures I had taken last March 2010.

Illinois Supreme Court Building
The current Supreme Court Building was erected at a cost of $450,500. At dedication ceremonies, Chief Justice John P. Hand accepted the keys to the building on February 4, 1908.
Built in 1937, this Stripped Classical Revival-style building was designed by C. Herrick Hammond and Hubert Burnam, and replaced the previous State Arsenal, which burned in 1934. The building is clad in limestone with fluted pilasters, a rusticated base, one-over-one windows, carved sculptural reliefs, metal canopies at the entrance doors, and windows in the central bays of the upper floors with metal frames and recessed metal spandrels. The building was historically used for large public events, including concerts, as well as being the home of the Illinois State Police and Illinois National Guard. However, the last organization, the Illinois State Police, moved out of the building in 2008, after which it was relegated to use as storage. As of 2023, the building is undergoing renovation to become a state office building.
