Per an inscription around the corner from this one, here was the Deutsche Evangelical Lutheran Friedens Kirche.

Friedens Kirche equals "Peace Church."

I love quiet evenings at the parking garages downtown.

Aye here's a picture of the parking garage when it opened in 1938, at which time it was named the Auto Hotel. The recessed interstitial areas were originally filled with glass block instead of windows and brown panels. Here's a construction pic too.

Its name ought to be changed back to Auto Hotel imo.

It's an impressive building but after 55 years I'd expect that its immediate surroundings would be a bit more dressed up.

Funfact: The small commercial building in the foreground was built in 1961.

Here were the Watterson Towers, a residence hall at Illinois State University, said by the university to have "opened in 1968," and said by Wikipedia to have been "completed in 1969," and said by various online sources to have been "completed in 1968" or "opened in 1969."

According to an October 1968 article in the student newspaper, the first five floors were opened to 220 students in the fall of that year, while the remainder of the building continued to be built. According to a December 1969 article in the same newspaper, the "North Tower was due to be finished in September of 1968 and was just completed, and the South Tower was scheduled to completed in September of 1969 but is still not done." So it's possible it wasn't technically "completed in 1969," but I haven't seen any online sources asserting it was "completed in 1970."
