| Additional Information: | Stevens Construction Corp. was the builder. The Modernist small office building was designed by the architectural firm of Sheldon Segel & Associates and was completed in January 1967. The building contained the Segel architectural offices as well as rentable office space. The building is clad in panelized reddish-yellow brick and dark-tinted glass. A row of thin steel columns encircles the outside perimeter of the building, reflecting the influence of Segel’s education at the Illinois Institute of Technology under Mies van der Rohe. A small one-story addition on the north originally contained an open-air patio that was enclosed at an unknown date. |
