Wicks Building, Commercial building in downtown Bloomington, Indiana, US.
The Wicks Building stands three stories tall with a limestone facade, large windows, and decorative piers that separate the window bays on upper floors.
Colonel W.W. Wicks established this commercial structure in 1915 after losing his previous property to fire, operating it as one of Bloomington's first department stores until 1976.
The building represents the Chicago school architectural style through its vertical emphasis, extensive glass surfaces, and limestone detailing on the facade.
The structure maintains its commercial function with office spaces, contributing to the economic activity of the Courthouse Square Historic District in Bloomington.
The building features sixteen large window bays containing intricate glass patterns, with each window composed of one main pane surrounded by four smaller ones.
