West Washington and South Clinton Street
Designed by Archimedes Russell in 1877, the McCarthy warehouse
was originally designed to serve as a retail store. It later became part of the
Edward's Department Store and was then known as the Edward's Annex.
The authors of
Architecture Worth Saving said of the building, "The rhythmic fenestration,
corbelling and studied details typify the better work of this period and of the
architect."
The McCarthy building has since been replaced by the new
AT&T building.
