Commercial Buildings in Sycamore Historic District - 156 W. State Street

156 W. State Street

156 W. State Street is the address of a historic building in downtown Sycamore, Illinois. It is adjacent to the equally historic Townsend Building and one of 187 contributing properties to the Sycamore Historic District. The district was designated and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Most of the original building at the location is no longer intact and has since been replaced or remodeled. Its top floor was, however, finished in a gray material similar to that which covers the facade today. The structure originally had a flat roof.

Famous quotes containing the words state and/or street:

    If kangaroos had no tails, they would topple over seems to me to mean something like this: in any possible state of affairs in which kangaroos have no tails, and which resembles our actual state of affairs as much as kangaroos having no tails permits it to, the kangaroos topple over.
    David Lewis (b. 1941)

    The harlot’s cry from street to street
    Shall weave old England’s winding sheet.
    William Blake (1757–1827)
