This large Lincoln Mural is located on the north side of the old Mt. Pulaski House. Mt. Pulaski House was built in 1902, and sits on the west side of the square across from the Mount Pulaski Courthouse State Historic Site. The courthouse, which was on Illinois' Eighth Circuit, is one of only two remaining courthouses on the central Illinois lawyer Abraham Lincoln carried out much of his practice of law.
Mount Pulaski is a city in Logan County, and is located about 25 miles NE of Springfield. The population was 1,701 at the 2000 census. The city is named in honor of Polish Revolutionary War hero Kazimierz Pułaski (also spelled Casimir Pulaski).

Mount Pulaski Township High School has been remodeled and expanded since its 1912 construction. It is sad to see how the windows have been altered in this original section of the school. The Photoshop poster edges effect has been lightly applied in the processing of this image.

You are invited to stay and browse through my photostream. Here's a quick index to my Flickr site:
Central Illinois (except Springfield): Central Illinois (except Springfield): Photos relating to the middle section of the "Land of Lincoln" (except for the Capital City of Springfield) may be found in this collection. Every city and town I've photographed is contained within its own set, and rural (as in "counrtyside") photographs are grouped by county.
Springfield, Illinois: All of my photographs of Springfield and the Abraham Lincoln Sites are in this collection. For the City of Springfield, there are separate sets for the Capitol Complex, Downtown (including the Old State Capitol), Neighborhoods, Parks, Illinois State Fairgrounds (and past State Fairs), and more. Photographs of Lincoln sites include the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, Lincoln Home National Historic Site, Lincoln Tomb, and so on. Also in the Lincoln "All About Abe" (Set) are a few Lincoln sites not located in Springfield.
Beyond Central Illinois: Other locales in the United States and Canada including New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Seattle.
In addition to my location-based sets, here are links to some "topical" collections and sets I've put together:
Automobile Photograph Collection: This is a very large collection of images whose primary, but not exclusive, focus is on American automotive classics. Images are organized by decade, by manufacturer, and by topics (such as convertibles, station wagons, muscle cars, etc.)
Barbers & Barber Shops: Traditional barbers and barber shops are on the endangered species list. But there are still plenty to be found if you go looking for them.
Almost Everything Else. Check It Out!!!: Included topics range from man's first walk on the moon to small town schools and churches, and from Soft-Coated Wheaten Terriers (our favorite breed) to things that are abandoned, neglected, weathered, or rusty.
