New Construction in Normal, Illinois
View on black: here and most of upper floor of buiding here.
Should we call this a new old building or what? In 1980, a fire burned part of a building in what was then downtown Normal and that building was torn down and replaced with a rather plain building. Now the plain building has been torn down and is being replaced by a replica of the original building that burnt. There will be a difference; a large tree sans leaves is in place to serve as a major structural support for the new building.
This will be a sit-down restaurant The Medici with its own bakery in the smaller building next door (which is having its facade restored to what it was in 1940). It will bring a little "Chicago" to Bloomington-Normal for the restaurant is an extension of "The Med" which is a popular "garbage pizza" and hamburger hangout for University of Chicago students in the Hyde Park area of Chicago.
