This property has been faithfully restored, and lovingly cared for. It was built in 1936 as a Mortgage Company. However, the depression made “banking” a non-profitable business soon after she was built. We have searched in vain for the Architect. NO idea. NOT Barloga (West High). NOT Bradley (Armory). Rob’s recent discovery that Flinn Middle school, by Orput, is now leading us down that path. Lynn and Rob, of Belles Firm of Architecture, Inc., purchased the building in the fall of 2002.
