- [Building Histories](https://historiccstreet.org/building-histories/): Building Histories These records trace who occupied Commercial Street, address by address and year by year, one file for each block of the district. They were compiled in 2008 by a Missouri State University class led by Steve Illum, drawing chiefly on Polk’s City Directories for Springfield. The language and comments are the students’ own, kept as written, and some entries are incomplete, as the directories themselves sometimes were.

- [Origins of Commercial Street](https://historiccstreet.org/cstreet-origins/): Origins of Commercial Street Commercial Street exists because a railroad went where the old town’s money would not. The Atlantic and Pacific, the first railroad to reach Springfield, arrived in 1870 and laid its tracks a mile north of the established town rather than through it. A district grew up almost overnight around the new depot, and the street that ran past it took a plain, working name: Commercial. To those who saw it, the town seemed to arrive out of nowhere. Writing in 1883, the historian R. I. Holcombe recorded how it rose, and who to thank, or blame, for […]
