The house, the only one remaining in downtown Springfield, was built in 1839 for Virgil Hickox and his family. Hickox was a prominent Springfield businessman who helped bring the city its first rail line, an extension of the Chicago and Alton Railroad. In addition, Hickox was a successful attorney and political figure; he chaired the Democratic State Committee for twenty years and was an associate of both Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas. The Hickox family remodeled their house several times; when they moved out in 1880, it had largely taken its present form, with an Italianate design featuring bracketed eaves and long arched windows.[2] The Sangamo Club, a private men's club, opened in the building in 1895 and remained there for over fifteen years. The building became a speakeasy during Prohibition and continued to serve alcohol afterwards as The Norb Andy's Tabarin. The tavern became and remains popular with state legislators; in the 1980s, it was reported to be one of the few remaining bars regularly frequented by politicians.[2] The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 5, 1982.[1] References1. ^1 {{NRISref|version=2010a}} {{National Register of Historic Places}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Hickox, Virgil, House}}{{Illinois-NRHP-stub}}2. ^1 {{cite web|last1=Scully|first1=Nanchen O.|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory - Nomination Form: Virgil Hickox House|url=http://gis.hpa.state.il.us/pdfs/201374.pdf|publisher=Illinois Historic Preservation Agency|accessdate=January 10, 2015|date=July 10, 1981}} 5 : Houses on the National Register of Historic Places in Illinois|Italianate architecture in Illinois|Houses completed in 1839|National Register of Historic Places in Springfield, Illinois|Houses in Springfield, Illinois |
