In downtown Bloomington, Illinois, on August 10th, 2024, was the back of the Marblestone Building at 208 N Center St (built in 1869, a "contributing property" in the Bloomington Central Business District, 85000363 on the National Register of Historic Places), as viewed from the east side of North Madison Street (U.S. 51 Business Route), north of West Washington Street.
