When I arrived in Springfield in 19977, this was the Thomas publishing company, and I recall that there were some changes to the exterior–a sign perhaps. Then it was vacant, then the state bought and repotred it. It would be interesting to see pictures of the Thomas Publishing era.

Love the Dana Thomas House. Glad to see it remains just the same as always.

Both of my parents worked for Charles C. Thomas Publishers when it owned the house. I got to run around inside that place all the time as a kid. There was never a dull vista. I remember at one point they took sections of the duck pin lane from the lower level to the C.C.Thomas warehouse on south 1st across from Black Hawk School and used them for tables.

It hasn’t changed in over 106 years — still as beautiful as ever.

I have the Bill Crook ink drawing of the D-T house. My most prized piece of art!

Mine too. There’s nothing like it anywhere.

This is my personal favorite place in Springfield.
