Capitol Park Building

Here's a picture of the old Capitol Park Building downtown. There's a few nuggets of info floating around on this building. According to the building's page on SkyscraperPage, it was built almost 100 years ago in 1912, and is built in the Beaux Arts/Chicago School style. This building may have been used for offices of some sort in a past life, but I'm not quite sure. Formerly, there was a party store (shown on the ground level with the signs above the windows), as well as a check cashing/bill payment center. Both provided bus schedules for people waiting for the buses when they stopped at Capitol Park (the buses have since moved just west of here to the new Rosa Park Transit Center on Michigan Avenue). The last business to move out of this building was the party/cigarette store. My favorite part of the architecture of this building are the center column of windows, and how they turn the corner there.
