The Press Building - Binghamton, NY
The former Press Building. This twelve-story limestone and brick building visually dominates the streetscape. Built in 1904, this structure is an exceptionally rich example of the Beaux-Arts commercial architecture of the period, with a detailed elaborate display of Victorian exuberance. The building, designed by architect T. I. Lacey, was originally built for Willis Kilmer's, Binghamton Press newspaper. The newspaper would spend a great many years in this building before relocating in 1964. After some interior changes the building would then become home to a music store and two night clubs. After sitting vacant for several years and showing signs of past abuse and neglect, the building had extensive renovations and in the later part of 2007 and was turned into an office building and renamed Professional Tower. In 2010 the building was heavily damaged by a nearby fire and shut down. There are plans to convert the building into a residential tower. Located at 19 Chenango Street in Binghamton, NY. (B/167)
