This is a former watch factory that went out of business in the early 1900s. it later became the Sangamo Meter Manufacturing Co. They make the electric meter where the power enters your home or building.
Later in the late 70s the company mover to the souteastern US. The building sat empty for years. The Illinois EPA aquired the building in the 1990s, refubished it, and is the current occupant.
Put a few of these together with Abe stuff and spend the day in the heart of “The Land of Lincoln”.
