(AP) — An apartment building in Streeterville is among four Illinois
buildings — three in Chicago — that have been added to the National
Register of Historic Places, according to the Illinois Historic
Preservation Agency.
Named to the list was the 1920
Neuville apartment building, at 232 E. Walton Place in the Streeterville
neighborhood, an early example of luxury apartment buildings that
offered the amenities of private mansions. It features an elegant lobby
and 10-room apartments.
The Polish Roman Catholic Union of
America Building, 984 N. Milwaukee in Chicago, made the registry. The
building still houses the organization and its Polish Museum of America.
The Vesta Accumulator Company Building, constructed in 1913 at 2100 S.
Indiana Ave. on Chicago's South Side, also made the list. Batteries,
lights and other electric devices for cars were made there.
Also
making the list is the Classic Revival-styled Sheffield Village Hall in
Bureau County, built in 1910 by George Franklin Barber & Co.
