Mather & Wells Neighborhood Association, located between Downtown Springfield and the Illinois State Fairgrounds, is a historic and residential Springfield neighborhood with tree-lined blocks and a strong civic footprint. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the 10th Street corridor near Cook Street, where corner storefronts, murals, and steady foot traffic set an everyday rhythm. Early-20th-century houses mix with small apartment buildings, giving the streetscape a lived-in, architectural patchwork. Nearby, the Illinois State Capitol Complex frames the area with grand civic buildings and broad lawns. Washington Park adds a classic city-park counterpoint with paths, gardens, and seasonal activity. Local staples such as Obed & Isaac’s Microbrewery and Eatery, the Hoogland Center for the Arts, and the Dana-Thomas House anchor culture close by.

R-3(B)
General Residence District
These districts are designed to provide for all types of residential buildings, in order to permit a broad range of housing types, with appropriate standards on density, open space, and spacing the buildings. These districts are mapped in relation to a desirable future residential density pattern, with emphasis on accessibility to transportation facilities, and to various community facilities, and on the character of the existing development. These districts also include community facilities and public open space uses which serve the residents of the districts or which an open residential environment benefits. The uses permitted in R-3 (a), (b) districts are identical, however, provisions of section 155.056 of this chapter limit the density of residential uses.
