Shoop Building, Historic office building in downtown Racine, United States.
The six-story Shoop Building features Cream City brick, red sandstone, and rounded arches across its Richardsonian Romanesque exterior design at 215 State Street.
Constructed in 1893 by architect James Gilbert Chandler, the building expanded in 1902 with a six-story annex and two-story office space in Renaissance Classical style.
Western Publishing occupied the entire structure after Dr. Shoop's retirement in 1914, marking a transition from patent medicine production to diverse commercial activities.
The building stands at the intersection of State Street and Main Street, currently housing the accountancy firm CliftonLarsonAllen as its primary tenant.
During renovations in 1983, workers discovered an old gravestone embedded within the basement wall of the building, though no remains were found.
