Describe contributing and noncontributing resources if applicable. Begin with a summary paragraph that briefly describes the general characteristics of the property, such as its location, type, style, method of construction, setting, size, and significant features. Indicate whether the property has historic integrity). Summary Paragraph The Best Building is a five-and six-story commercial building located at 1701-1707 Second Avenue in Rock Island, Illinois. The building’s design is in the Classical Revival style, with noticeable Commercial Style (“Chicago School”) influences in its large windows, three-part vertical division and expression of its structural grid. The building was designed in 1908 by Clausen & Clausen of Davenport, Iowa, the best- known architectural firm in the region. It was constructed by Peoria contractors Valentine Jobst & Sons. The building has an early example of a fireproof concrete frame, with reinforced concrete columns and girders. The floor slabs consist of clay tile laid between girders, and the structural walls are of hollow clay tile and common brick. The foundation is also concrete. The exterior is clad with manganese-spotted dark brown brick at the first story and buff brick at the upper stories. There is a deep modillioned copper cornice. The building has a rectangular footprint at the ground level. Above the second story, the floor plan is U-shaped, with a light well facing 17th Street to the west. The floor levels are differentiated in each wing above the second story, with three upper stories to the north of the light well and four upper stories to the south. This division articulates the separate uses of the two sides of the building, with tall- ceilinged department store levels on the north and lower-ceilinged office space to the south. The building possesses integrity, with its definitive architectural features intact and legible. There have been some exterior alterations, and the interior layout reflects a highly modified floorplan. Some interior elements are intact, including the location of hallways on the office side of the building, the tin ceiling on the second story, many wood and terrazzo floors, and the lobby, which was remodeled in the 1930s or 1940s. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Narrative Description Setting The Best Building is sited at the northeast corner of Second Avenue and 17th Street in downtown Rock Island approximately one and a half blocks south of the Mississippi River. An alley runs along the north side of the building, and the east side of the building is connected at the first two and a half stories to a smaller historic building on Second Avenue. A row of historic buildings is across the street to the south, and a long glass and metal paneled mid-20th-century building is across the street to the west. The immediate vicinity is one of the densest sections of downtown Rock Island. Exterior The Best Building has two primary elevations (see photograph 1 and figure 3). Both the south and west elevations originally had a main entrance into the department store space, and the elevation lobby was accessed from an additional entrance at the south elevation. The south elevation faces Second Avenue. This elevation is divided into four bays and is six stories high. The two center bays are slightly wider than the two outer bays. At the first story, the four bays are framed by variegated dark brown manganese-spotted brick piers. The piers’ bases are limestone, and limestone runs across the top of the openings. The first and third bays are occupied by aluminum storefront systems over black granite bulkheads. The second bay is similarly detailed, but there is a pair of recessed glass double doors leading into the department store space. Historically, this was a main 3 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service / National Register of Historic Places Registration Form NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 Best Building Rock Island, Illinois Name of Property County and State entrance with a double-leaf entrance flanked by sidelights beneath the transom, with a glass canopy suspended by wire rope from the building wall (see figures 3 and 15). The canopy and original entrance configuration are both gone. Cloth canopies are over the right three bays; the left bay retains the metal structure for the canopy but the cloth is missing. At the fourth bay, brown brick recesses back to a pair of non-historic glass doors with sidelights and transom. Above a limestone course, the second story begins the upper stories’ use of buff brick. Every sixth and seventh course of brick is recessed to create a rusticated feel. Tall openings, one per bay, are wide enough to accommodate multiple windows. Originally the wood sash windows were configured in wide pairs with transoms at the outer bays and Chicago-style windows with transom lights at the center two bays. Today’s aluminum replacements are pairs or paired 1/1s (four per opening) with colored panels instead of transom lights above. Over the windows, the rusticated pattern of the brick flares upward to suggest the voussoirs of a flat arch; at the center of each is a limestone keystone. Another limestone course caps the second story. Floors three through six are designed as a single unit. Brick piers define the bays; the outer piers are rusticated, following the pattern established at the second story. The window planes are recessed, and the piers between them rise to a shallow arch over the window bays. The window openings themselves are separated so there are two per bay. There is more space between the windows at the two, wider center bays. Each of the window openings is filled with an aluminum window with a tall upper sash and a short, horizontal lower sash. A historic photo indicates that in the original wood windows, the bottom sashes were taller than the upper sashes. The sixth floor is crowned with a copper cornice which features roundels on the frieze and heavy modillions at the eaves. At either end of the façade, large (story-high) stylized terra cotta compositions appear to drop down from the cornice. These vertical expressions are inspired by the parts of a column or of a cornice. The top section is square and is the height of roughly 12 ½ courses of brick. In the center is a stylized quatrefoil flower in a square recessed panel.

  • How Limestone, Rocks, and Volcanic Ash Built the Modern World
    26/11/2017 The Rock Solid History of Concrete ALEXANDERVANLOON/WIKIMEDIA The Rock Solid History of Concrete By Jonathan Schifman Oct 12, 2017 1.5k HOW LIMESTONE, ROCKS, AND VOLCANIC ASH BUILT THE MODERN WORLD. The story of concrete is so ancient that we don't even know when and where it begins. It is a story of discovery, experimentation, and mystery. Emperors and kings became legends for erecting great concrete structures, some of which are still a mystery to engineers today. Many of history's most skilled architects found inspiration in slabs of the gray building material. Common bricklayers advanced the technology, and a con man played a crucial role in the development of concrete recipes. Today, the world is literally filled with concrete, from roads and sidewalks to bridges and dams. The word itself has become a synonym for something that is real and tangible. Press http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/infrastructure/a28502/rock-solid-history-of-concrete/ 1/22 26/11/2017 The Rock Solid History of Concrete your handprints into the sidewalk and sign your name to history. This is the story of concrete. The First Cement—and Maybe Concrete? Let's get this out of the way right here: cement and concrete are not the same thing. Cement, a mixture of powdered limestone and clay, is an ingredient in concrete along with water, sand, and gravel. Concrete's invention was made possible by the development of cement, and to trace the history of cement, we must trace the use of its components. ADVERTISEMENT - CONTINUE READING BELOW The earliest known use of limestone in a structure has been dated back about 12,000 years.
