Print ArticleAccording to MySpringfield.org, "The Springfield historic district is nothing if not a work in progress. It’s that “transitional” label that signals work yet to be done, a diverse citizenry, and great opportunity.

Left unattended, all structures decay. That much is certain. You can walk down most streets in the neighborhood and see the results of absentee property owners.

Large or small, total or touch up, on schedule or years in the making, it’s all progress.
