|  | | | I spent the last 40 hours enjoying a small northern IL town for all of it's documented history. The house I stayed in was built in 1888 (complete with hidden staircases!) I felt I was in an antique shop. Anyway, I got into the Starline building, which was built in 1883 as a manufacturer of hay carriers. Parts of it are being redone, and the plan is to redo the entire building (8 city blocks worth).
Most interesting tidbits:
- boiler room was turned into a greenhouse (Wonderful constructed battle between life and industry)
- most of the rooms are still filled with nonsensical objects that just seem to have been put into piles at random
- there are a few vaults with checks and papers in them dating back to when the building was built. I was too careful to touch them.
Has anybody else heard of Starline? I didn't explore the entire building.

| | | | I can't remember how I heard of it, probably some artist friends, but I just did a search on it... apparently they hold art exhibitions there and whatnot.

| | | | I didn't get any pictures and I regret that. I'll be going back soon enough, though. I'll post them. The guy who bought it does use a small section as an art studio. The main entrance is used for exhibitions sometimes.

Are you in a bar, building, or jail cell? / You have a freak flag. You just don't fly it.

>>The Starline Gallery is a work in progress. The Starline building is over 100 years old and located at the __________________________________. It is in a very unique phase of renovation, where artist work spaces are available for rent, and premium exhibition space is available to resident artists. The building itself covers about three city blocks.
