Edwards Place is a historic house located at 700 North 4th Street in Springfield, Illinois. The Italianate house was built in 1933; its design features bracketed cornices and a cupola with a skylight. Lawyer Benjamin S. Edwards, son of Illinois governor Ninian Edwards, owned the house. While he lived there, the house became an important political center for Springfield, as Edwards hosted rallies and gatherings for Illinois politicians. Abraham Lincoln gave a speech from one of the house's second-story windows, and Stephen A. Douglas hosted a rally on the property. The house also hosted guests who came to Springfield for Lincoln's funeral. Several of the Lincoln family's possessions are now held in the Edwards house. Edwards' daughter donated the house to the Springfield Art Association in 1913; it has since served the association as a museum, school, and meeting house.〔 The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 17, 1969.〔 ==References==
