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.

Built in 1852, this Italianate-style building was constructed to serve as a passenger station on the Great Western Railroad at Springfield, and was heavily renovated after a fire in 1857. The building was originally one story in height, and was the location of Lincoln’s Farewell Address in 1861, when he left Springfield for Washington, DC to serve as the President of the United States. The building was expanded in 1900 with the addition of a second floor, at which time the Great Western Railroad had merged with several other railroads to form what was initially known as the Toledo, Wabash, and Western Railroad in 1865, later known as the Wabash Railroad after 1877. The building served as a freight station beginning in the late 19th Century, and was utilized by a variety of businesses, including serving as a warehouse, before being heavily damaged by a major fire in 1968. After the fire, the building was restored to its circa 1900 appearance, and was utilized as a museum, becoming affiliated with Sangamon State University between 1977 and 1980, but being discontinued due to a lack of funding during the public austerity spearheaded by the Reagan administration. The building subsequently was managed by the Copley Press, who owned the building and the local newspaper known as The State Journal-Register, until 2012, when the building was sold to attorney Jon Gray Noll. Roll undertook a major rehabilitation of the building, moving his law offices to the second floor, and opening the first floor as a museum. The building features a red brick exterior, brick pilasters, arched bays containing six-over-six and two-over-two windows, a low-pitch gabled roof with large brackets, and a modern concrete ramp alongside the railroad tracks. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.
On the left, built in 1891, this Richardsonian Romanesque Revival-style building is known as the Hofferkamp Building, and features a sandstone exterior, one-over-one double-hung windows flanked by engaged stone columns, decorative stone trim, a large blind arch above the third floor windows, and a modified first floor storefront with a cast iron surround. On the right, built in 1885, this Italianate-style building features a red brick exterior, limestone trim, a bracketed cornice with a decorative gable parapet, one-over-one windows, and a modified first floor facade. The buildings are contributing structures in the Central Springfield Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, and expanded to its present size in 2016.
