Historic freestanding mixed-use building with full floor penthouse loft. Designed by prominent architect Leonard Thomas (of Thomas Brothers Map fame) in 1917, this heavy brick and timber building is emblematic of early 20th century industrial buildings of that era. Thomas was at the forefront of mixing elements to beautify traditional utilitarian architecture with arched windows, patterned brick, & deep corbeled cornices. Used as The American Bag Company and Union Hide Co. from 1917 through the late 1980’s (known for making, mending and guaranteeing burlap bags), the building was purchased by the current owner and completely renovated 1994-1999 before joining the National Register of Historic Places. The building consists of 3 stories currently demised into four separately metered spaces with the second and third floors being single-tenant full floors (3rd floor is a live/work loft).
