(Print from Glass Slide) Bricks and Mortar

The Chamber of Commerce, opposite the Courthouse at the southeast corner of LaSalle and Washington, dedicated its new three-story building in 1865. After the fire it erected this structure on the same location, in time for its most important tenant, the Board of Trade, to move in on the first anniversary of the fire--October 9, 1872. By 1885 the Board was in its own new building, predecessor to the current one, at the junction of LaSalle and Jackson.
