Here’s a GM&O F3 in, you guessed it, Bloomington, Illinois, along the Alton. The poling pockets were idiosyncratic to the GM&O.

Old McLean County Courthouse, Bloomington, Illinois by myoldpostcards Explore #29 on March 2, 2021. The Old McLean County Courthouse and Square is located in downtown Bloomington. The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973 and encompasses the old McLean County Courthouse and the courthouse-facing sides of Washington St. to the south, Center St. to the west, and Jefferson St. to the north. The historic buildings to the east of the old courthouse on the N. Main St. side of the square were destroyed by fire in the 1985. Today a contemporary office building occupies the area. The site was home to three previous courthouses before this building was completed in 1903. The first courthouse at the site was built in 1831, and the second in 1836. The third was built in 1868, but was destroyed by a fire in 1900 that also destroyed many of the buildings in downtown Bloomington. The 1903 courthouse was designed by William Reeves and John M. Baile of the Peoria firm Reeves and Baile, and is built in the Classical Revival architectural style. The exterior is clad in limestone and of solid masonry construction. The plan is rectangular and symmetrical and is executed in the Corinthian order. From the roof rise a limestone drum and a copper dome which are said to be modeled after St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. The east and west faces of the building are home to the principal elevations. They feature three story porticos, a Corinthian pediment, balustrade caps Nand the cornice. The building's windows are decorated with Doric surrounds. The fifth and current McLean County Courthouse was completed in 1977. The courts were the first to move to the new building but until 1991, general county offices were still housed here in the old courthouse. The McLean County Historical Society put its museum in the Old Courthouse in 1988, and today all 4 floors of the building are occupied by the McLean County Museum of History for exhibits, collections storage, and offices. Bloomington is the seat of McLean County. It is adjacent to Normal, and is the more populous of the two principal municipalities of the Bloomington-Normal metropolitan area. Bloomington is 135 miles (217 km) southwest of Chicago, and 162 miles (261 km) northeast of St. Louis. The estimated population of Bloomington in 2019 was 77,330, with a metro population of 191,067. https://flic.kr/p/2kG5QsF
