Enos Park

In 1996, Fever River Research conducted an architectural survey of the historic Enos Park Neighborhood in Springfield, Illinois. This project represented one component of the City of Springfield’s Historic Sites Commission’s long-term objective of surveying the entire one-square mile area comprising the historic core of the community. The Enos Park Neighborhood is located directly north of the central business district in Springfield and extends to North Grand Avenue. During the middle-to-late nineteenth century, this area represented one of the most prestigious residential neighborhoods in Springfield and was distinguished by its fine Italianate and Queen Anne-style homes. Several of the earlier middleclass “flats” to be constructed in Springfield also were located here. During the project, Fever River Research documented 559 buildings, representing a wide range of architectural styles and building forms constructed over a 100-year period (circa 1845-1945). The survey and documentation of these structures resulted in a much better understanding of the architectural history of Springfield and identified a number of properties meriting National Register and/or local landmark status.
