| Keeley Office Building |
| The Keeley Office Building is located at 128 West Main Street. The Keeley Institute was a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center. The original building was built in 1891. It was rebuilt as it is today after a fire in 1902. In 1919 the building was leased to the Veteran's Administration. The U.S. Government later bought the entire complex including the Livingston Hotel. Windows representing the five senses were from the studio of Louis J. Millet who worked with Tiffany but also had his own business in Chicago. He has windows in the Art Institute and in the Smith Art Glass Museum on Navy Pier. In July of 1965, the Veteran's Administration closed and the State of Illinois took over the building for the W. W. Fox Children's Center. It is presently called the W. W. Fox Developmental Center. |
