My office at the Tower building faces this building on Douglas, and I've often wondered how such a new building came to be at the location. Thanks for the history!

Same with the Ackemann Building on Highland... It does prove that sometimes Elgin City government along with business/private sector can come up with a win win scenario. But it's most often the exception not the rule. Awesome job btw!

The second and third floors are contected to the building next door on Chicago street giving the total structure a foot print of 38,000 sqft. Much of the structual elements of the rebuilt building were reclaimed from previously used brick and timbers from other period buildings that were torn down.
