Townsend Building
The Sycamore, Illinois Townsend Building is another contributing property within the Sycamore Historic District. The district is located in and around downtown Sycamore.

State St. The building was constructed around the turn of the 20th century and is probably the more architecturally interesting of the two adjacent structures.

A wise thing, but which has no purpose for us.”
