Built in 1927, this Classical Revival-style building was designed by Helmle and Helmle, and received large Modern New Formalist additions in 1974-1976 to the north and south, flanking the building along 6th Street. The original building features a limestone-clad exterior with a recessed portico featuring fluted corinthian columns, a decorated pediment with acroterions and dentils, and a large glass curtain wall at the rear of the portico, added during the 1970s renovation. To the north and south are modern additions with stone-clad columns and parapets, with a portico wrapping the northern addition, which features a glass curtain wall at the rear of the portico, and a colonnade at the street frontage of the southern addition, which encloses the front of a parking lot in front of the glass curtain wall of the front facade. The original 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 presently houses the offices of the Illinois State Treasurer.

Battle of Springfield
Across from this site stood Fort No. 5, the second larges of five forts built around Springfield. By January 8, 1863, the fort was only partially finished. It served only as a rallying point during the battle. From this point and along St. Louis Street, Union soldiers from the 3rd and 14th Missouri State Militia Cavalry engaged in several skirmishes with Maj. Ben Elliott's battalion of scouts. In one brief encounter, two companies of the 14th MSM, commanded by Lt. Col. Pound and Capt. Milton Burch, clashed with Lt. William H. Gregg and Quantrill's Confederate company, resulting in a number of casualties to the Union forces. From this position on the morning of January 9, the weary Union defenders watched as the Confederates disengaged their battle lines and withdrew east along St. Louis St., the road to St. Louis. The battle was over. Both sides suffered casualties in excess of 12%.

Built in 2003-2005, this Postmodern-style building was designed by HOK to serve as a library and museum documenting the history and presidency of Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865), 16th President of the United States and longtime resident of Springfield, Illinois. The building houses a research library with documents and artifacts relating to Lincoln’s life and presidency, as well as the American Civil War (1861-1865). The building features circular columns, a cylindrical entrance bay at the most prominent corner of the building, in the middle of a larger curved facade, limestone cladding, a simple limestone cornice, and a cylindrical atrium with clerestory windows at the center of the building. The library today is open to the public, though it has a large collection of artifacts and documents that are non-circulating, and is run as an independent department by the State of Illinois.
Built in 1892-1893, this Gothic Revival-style building houses the congregation of Grace Lutheran Church, founded in 1841 as the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Springfield. The building is clad in rough-hewn yellow sandstone with a corner tower featuring a stone spire, an open belfry, gothic arched bays, turrets with pinnacles at the corners of the belfry, stained glass windows, a hipped roof, gabled projected bays on the north and west facades, and an educational building on the east side of the building, clad in red brick and rough-hewn sandstone, which was added in 1926. The building is part of the Lincoln Home National Historic Site, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971, and today remains in use as the home of the Grace Lutheran Church congregation.

Built in 1894, this Richardsonian Romanesque Revival-style building is known as the Pireck-Sommers Building, and features a rough-hewn sandstone exterior with roman arched transoms over the third floor windows and decorative carved stone details, a copper-clad oriel window in the center of the front facade, a copper cornice with dentils, and large first floor bays flanked by cast iron piers. 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 1974, this Modern International-style building was designed by Architectural and Mechanical Systems Corporation to serve as a modern hotel for downtown Springfield, originally being known as the Forum 30 Plaza Hotel, later being known as the Hilton Towers Hotel in the 1980s, the Springfield Hilton Hotel starting in the 1990s, and in 2015, the Wyndham Springfield City Centre. It is the tallest building in Springfield, standing 352 feet (107 meters) and 30 floors tall, but sits on much lower ground than the Illinois State Capitol, allowing the dome of the Capitol to remain dominant on the city’s skyline. The building has a dodecagon-shaped tower with travertine at the corners and crown, flanking the glass curtain walls, a crown that tapers outwards towards the 30th floor and inwards towards the roof, and a two-story C-shaped podium surrounding a central automobile entrance court. The building today remains in use as a hotel, and is a dominant feature of the skyline of Springfield.
