Notes
- Description
-
In the mid-1930’s, the Commercial Exchange Building on Eighth and Olive Streets was re-sized to accommodate a street-widening project. A ten-foot segment was cut along the thirteen-story building, removed, and the two halves of the building pushed together. The job was supervised by Walker & Eisen and conducted by Kress House Moving Company.
An unidentified man kneels beside one of the large cement runways underneath the Commercial Exchange Building. They will be used to reunite the two halves of the building once it is reduced in size.
