The Lincoln-Herndon Law Offices, situated across from the Old Capitol, offer visitors yet anther view of Abraham Lincoln. Here one is able to envision the beginnings of Lincoln’s successful law career and learn about the courtrooms where he tried cases.
The first floor contains the Springfield Visitor’s Center. Visitors can also see a re-creation of a post office that was in the building during Lincoln’s time. The upper two floors are currently closed for reconstruction.
The Lincoln-Herndon Law Offices are in the only remaining building in which Abraham Lincoln maintained a law office. The site consists of the surviving portion of a three-story brick commercial block constructed in 1840-41. Exterior details reflect the then-popular Greek Revival architectural style.
