Janesville Illinois ~ Lappin-Hayes Block ~ Historic Building
The building was originally owned by Thomas Lappin, who had previously owned another building on the same spot. Over the years, tenants of the building included what would become Northwestern Mutual. Several other tenants, including grocers, banks, attorneys and physicians, occupied it. In 1899, it was purchased by Dennis and Michael Hayes.
