    Prenger-Walbach Building IL HABS No. P-2003-1. 511-515 South Adams Street Peoria Peoria County Illinois PHOTOGRAPHS WRITTEN HISTORICAL AND DESCRIPTIVE DATA Prepared by Christopher Stratton and Floyd Mansberger Fever River Research Springfield, Illinois Illinois Historic American Buildings Survey Illinois Historic Preservation Agency 1 Old State Capitol Plaza Springfield, Illinois 62701 October 2003 ILLINOIS HISTORIC BUILDINGS SURVEY PRENGER-WALBACH BUILDING IL HABS No. P-2003-1 Location: 511-515 South Adams Street, Lot 11, Block 40 of Balance’s Addition Peoria, Illinois. Present Owner: City of Peoria Present Occupant: None Present Use: The building was demolished following the IL HABS field investigation. Statement of Significance: The Prenger-Walbach Building was an excellent example of middle-to-late nineteenth century Italianate commercial architecture and was representative of the rebuilding of Peoria’s central commercial district following the Civil War. The building was situated along South Adams Street, which developed into one of the city’s premier commercial corridors during the middle nineteenth century—a status it retained throughout much of the following century. Characteristic of commercial structures of its period, the ground floor of the Prenger-Walbach Building was utilized exclusively for business use, while the upper floor was utilized as living space for tenants. The structure’s Italianate detailing, open storefront design (made possible by the use of cast-iron columns and beams), composition of multiple storefronts within a single building block, and maximization of lot space all reflect important trends in commercial architecture in Peoria and elsewhere in Illinois during the middle-to-late nineteenth century. Although once common in Peoria, such Italianate commercial buildings are becoming increasingly rare in the city, and few had the integrity exhibited by Prenger-Walbach Building.
