Union Buildings
Image by myoldpostcards
Springfield’s old Union Station is today a visitor’s center for the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum. Completed in 1896, Union Station was an active passenger station until 1971. The original clock tower was removed in 1946, but was rebuilt as part of a .5M restoration project completed in 2007.

The Photoshop poster edges effect has been lightly applied in the processing of this image.

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.
