Len Jus Building

This building was built in 1882 and has some work done on it recently.  It’s the third in a line of empty buildings on the 200 block of North Federal, which is only a block from City Hall, Central Park, Southbridge Mall, the Park Inn Hotel, and the rest of Downtown.  It also made the list of a ‘Most Endangered’ list for historic properties, and has a Wikipedia page.

This until recently had a sign advertising it as Len-Jus Salve.  There’s an old Chevy Caprice wagon seen around sometimes advertising the salve on many magnetic stickers on the vehicle.  There’s also one that simply says ‘WEB SITE’.  It doesn’t have an address on it, just the words ‘WEB SITE’.

    This is awesome! Your whole project that is.

    I myself am enamoured of these buildings because they are almost totally unaltered exampled of mass-produced tin storefronts from the late 1800s-early 1900s. There aren’t that many intact examples anymore, and these three just sit there looking awful but actually being really awesome.
