| 説明 | Built in 1912, this Renaissance Revival-style building was constructed to house the Cairo Board of Trade and various other commercial tenants in the then-thriving city of Cairo, Illinois. The building is characterized by its red brick exterior, orange brick accents, recessed window bays on the front facade flanking a wide three-story bay window clad in pressed metal at the center of the front facade, a decaying metal cornice with brackets and dentils, paired one-over-one double-hung windows with terra cotta sills, a rusticated first floor, and large bays on the first floor that once contained multiple commercial storefronts, flanking the entrance to the building’s lobby, which provided access to office space on the second, third, and fourth floors. The building is a contributing structure in the Cairo Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Today, the building, like many of the remaining structures in Downtown Cairo, is abandoned and decaying, with the front bay window having lost many pieces of its pressed metal spandrels, the side and rear facades becoming overgrown with vegetation, and vegetation beginning to emerge from the building’s parapet. The building, located at 218 7th Street, is a common photographic subject used to represent the decay of Cairo, and is colloquially known as the "Special Offer" building after a hand-painted sign on the lower portion of the facade. |
