"110 South 17th Street (Designs Unlimited/Creative Expressions, 1892)
Rectangular plan (22x50, 22x70), two-story, brick walls. Two-part commercial block, Italianate style (elongated narrow upper windows with elaborate metal lintels, centered upper level front door cast iron storefront, and pressed metal cornice). This is the north half of a double-width storefront. This facade has the identical cornice, lintels, and cast iron storefront as the two buildings to the south, and 1619, 1621-23 Grant Street. The probable manufacturer was the General Machinery and Foundry Company, Quincy, Illinois, known producer for the 110 South 17th Street façade. Like its neighbor to the south, this one has a centered upper level front door, which is centered atop a support column. These doors exited onto the roofs of permanent sidewalk canopies since removed. This storefront has a side entrance, originally a double entrance, now reduced to a single door with sidelights. The windows above have been reduced in size. The cast iron work has the circle/arrow motif and is inscribed "General Machinery and Foundry Company, Quincy, Illinois". In this case the base is gone so that only the columns survive. Map #39. Contributing." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
