The genteel residence and grounds conveniently located at 700 North Union Street is distinguished from any other properties by the twelve wooden Corinthian columns which were originally mounted on the front of the Springfield based Illinois State Bank, this institution served many client, one in particular was Abraham Lincoln and his growing family along with his law firm. Around 1870 the bank made the decision to reconstruct its main offices into a masonry (brick & stone) exterior and the columns were no longer needed.
