Springfield IL - Art Deco Entrance of the Illinois Building (1 of 2)

The Illinois Building, on the northeast corner of Adams and Sixth St. in downtown Springfield, is an outstanding commercial example of Art Deco design. The focus of this two-photograph series is on the building's main entrance of Adams St. Both photographs have been modified using the poster edges effect in Photoshop.

East coast, West coast, and the places in between.

In addition to my location-based sets, here are links to some "topical" collections and sets I've put together:

Automobile Photograph Collection
This is a very large collection of photographs that is mainly focused on American automotive classics, but includes cars right up to the current model year.

Barbers & Barber Shops
Traditional barbers and barber shops are on the endangered species list. But there are still plenty to be found if you look for them.

Everything Else. Check It Out!!!
Included topics range from man's first walk on the moon to small town schools and churches, and from Soft-Coated Wheaten Terriers (our favorite breed) to things that are abandoned, neglected, weathered, or rusty.
