Step into the heart of Springfield’s history with this extraordinary opportunity to own one of downtown’s most iconic properties – The Virgil Hickox House, home to the legendary Norb Andy’s Tabarin. Built in 1839, this beautifully preserved Italianate residence has served as a private home, the original Sangamo Club, Prohibition-era speakeasy, and beloved local bar/restaurant. Originally the home of Virgil Hickox, a prominent businessman and political figure closely associated with Abraham Lincoln’s Springfield, the building stands as a rare example of 19th-century architecture adapted for modern use. Its legacy continued through the 20th century as Norb Andy’s, a gathering place for legislators, journalists, and locals since 1937. Whether you’re seeking a one-of-a-kind investment property, an architectural showpiece, or a turnkey historic venue, this property offers unmatched prestige and presence in the heart of Illinois’ Capital city. The upper/home portion of the property is currently in need of a cleanout, tlc/repairs. Original elements remain intact, offering an excellent foundation for a preservation-minded investor, developer, or visionary entrepreneur. With thoughtful renovation, the Hickox House could once again become a showpiece, whether as a restaurant, boutique office, event venue, or mixed-use destination.
