RALPH CRANE/LIFE

The Springfield House At the corner of Eighth and Jackson streets in downtown Springfield stood the one and only house Abraham Lincoln would ever own. “The little home was painted white and had green shutters. It was sweet and fresh, and Mary loved it. She was exquisitely dainty, and her house was a reflection of herself, everything in good taste and in perfect order,” wrote one of her nieces. When the Lincolns bought it for $1,200 in 1844, it was a one-story structure; they added the second story in 1856. Above: This photo, taken during the summer of 1860, shows Lincoln at the home with sons Willie and Tad (center, by the fence). Below: The parlor features some of the original furniture and portraits of George and Martha Washington above the mantel. Bottom: A sign and key from the home.
