"After undergoing periods of dormancy, neglect, and occasional attempts at revitalization, Springfield's downtown area is currently experiencing a resurgence of change and growth. This appreciation of Springfield's historic architecture is evident in the restoration of once-neglected historic buildings that are now restaurants, businesses, and lofts. This renaissance extends from the public square to what was once North Springfield and beyond. Connie Yen is an author, historian, and archivist.

Arcadia's Past & Present series makes such local comparisons available. Books in this series offer a special view of American life by placing historical images side by side with contemporary photographs"--Back cover
