Lincoln-Herndon Law Office
Abraham Lincoln practiced law in the offices above Seth Tinsley's store from 1843 until he left for Washington, D.C. as president-elect. It was an ideal location for a rising young law firm -- near the capitol and Springfield's finest hotel and just above the local post office and Federal Courtroom of the day. Stephen Logan (1843-44) and William Herndon (1844-65) were his partners during this time. This is the only surviving structure in which Lincoln maintained working law offices.
