HUTNER BUILDING
1990
924 S. Calhoun Street
The Allen County Bar Association presently occupies the street level of
this building, and the upper floors contain at total of 15 residential units.
This structure faces Calhoun Street and forms the north wall of Midtowne
Crossing’s courtyard area.
The initial plan for Midtowne Crossing called for only the historic
residential units to be sold as condominiums. The apartments in this
building and the Lillie Building were planned as rentals, to be operated
by the developer. The aforementioned units were made available for
sale shortly after most of the historic units were sold, as the demand
for more condominiums became apparent.
The existing building was constructed in 1989-90. Originally clad in a thin
brick material, the Hutner and the Lillie buildings had a much different
look than they do today. Soon after the buildings were constructed, the
brick began to delaminate from its base and, in 1996, it was replaced with aluminum composite panels. During this process,
the original insulation board was replaced with a thicker board, which was wrapped in Tyvek® building paper for added
energy efficiency and moisture resistance.
The present-day structure replaced that which was once home to Hutner’s Paris fine clothier, hence its current name. The
older building was unsalvageable and thus demolished during the redevelopment of this block.
A smaller building, to the south of the old Hutner Building, was also demolished. It stood where the courtyard entrance is
now.
