Springfield Museum of Fine Arts - Architectural Elements Sculpture

A contributing property in the Quadrangle--Mattoon Historic District (Boundary Increase), listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. This well-preserved residential neighborhood near the U.S. Armory in Springfield developed between about 1850 and 1930 during the city's industrial peak. Initially home to Armory workers and contractors, it evolved from a district of single- and two-family houses into one of substantial apartment blocks designed by local architects and builders. It is significant for its architecture, for its reflection of urban residential growth, and for its associations with Springfield's African-American and French-Canadian communities, including a house tied to Underground Railroad activism.
