The Elijah Iles House is a historic house located at 624 South 7th Street in Springfield, Illinois.[2] William Vigal built the house for Elijah Iles in 1832; it is one of the oldest surviving houses in Springfield. Iles, who moved to Springfield in 1821, was one of the city's earliest settlers; he ran the first store in Sangamon County and helped persuade the county to locate the county seat in Springfield. His house has a Greek Revival design inspired by Southern architecture; it is one of the few Greek Revival residences in Central Illinois.[3]
The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 23, 1978.[1]
