Elgin Tower Building

The Elgin Tower Building rises 15 stories high with a height of 56.69 meters, featuring a stepped-back facade and geometric ornamental details throughout its exterior.

Built in 1929 to house the Home National Bank, the structure faced immediate challenges when the Great Depression struck, leading to the bank's bankruptcy by 1932.

The building represents one of two Art Deco structures in Elgin and received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002 for its architectural merit.

Located at 100 East Chicago Street, the building contains two elevators and underwent renovation in 2016 to transform the office spaces into residential apartments.

The William R. Stickling Charitable Foundation maintains this structure following its purchase and restoration efforts by William Stickling before his death in 1999.
