Originally built to run the streetcar system, this reasonable facsimile of a provincial Roman basilica ( In the original sense as a law court and place of assembly ) was designed by D.H.Burnham and Company, of Chicago.
It was built between 1895 and 1897.
The place has sat empty for a good while. A developer, of sorts, is in the process of converting it into apartments. If they proceed at their current rate of speed, it should be ready for occupancy in about thirty years.
