︎BUILDING.
1110.
SEGURA INC. IS LOCATED IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS IN A VERY UNIQUE BUILDING.
A stunning property in the heart of Wicker Park/Bucktown. On the corner of Milwaukee Avenue and Thomas Street, two blocks south of the Division-Ashland-Milwaukee interchange in Chicago. (1106, 1108 and 1110 are all part of this property).
The building has three floors. On the first (basement) floor is a large space the length of the building, with a floor to ceiling, built-in, library style book shelving unit and plenty of storage cabinets. It also has a full bathroom, a second smaller room that connects to a third larger room. In the rear of this floor is also a fourth room with two exits to the rear of the building and into the parking/yard.
On the front portion of the second floor is the very open main lobby (that used to be the bank lobby). This room has a breathtaking first impression, with it's very high gold-leaf gilded ceiling, wrough-iron railings, original stained-glass windows, original Terrazzo floors and large front windows that face Milwaukee Avenue. The back portion of the space is a full kitchen.
The back portion of the space is a full kitchen, with the two large rear windows facing Thomas Street and the very large side window facimg the yard and driveway.
The third floor which overlooks the main floor has a stunning view of the main lobby below, as well as the front's full windows that face Milwaukee Avenue. It is all visible from the main area, which has a balcony and floor-to-ceiling french-doors. This area comprises of an enormous full bath, the master bedroom/media room with two wall-to-wall closets and two large windows that face Thomas Street is in the back.
The Abraham Lincoln lodge gate between the two buildings (facing Milwaukee avenue) is from New York, NY and is from a Jewish section of the lodge - most likely why the UOSB is the German version of the letters of the IOSB (The Independent Order Sons of Benjamin). Here is a document from The Supreme court dated June 20, 1890 that refers to it. The WTTW "Ask Geoffrey" segment describes the gate as part of "The Independent Order of Odd Fellows".
In the 1887 Certified List of Domestic and Foreign Corporations for Illinois (which has been published for years) it states that the name of the company at 768 North Milwaukee Avenue, (which was the original address for this property when built, but Chicago changed all of the street addresses in 1909, and was then became 1110.) was the Hatterman Safety Deposit Vault Company. William E. Hatterman is listed as the President and Louis D. Glanz is listed as the Secretary.
Its striking facade was redesigned as a three story bank building in 1912 by renowned architects (Emil) Frohmann & Jebsen (see page 29 of this document) in the Jugenstil Art Nouveau style. They were located at 64 West Randolph, room 505, and well known for their commissions for the City of Chicago and Tied Houses, as well as the stable building at Humboldt Park.
William E. Hatterman, mortgage banker and real-estate dealer, Chicago, is a native of Germany, Where he was born in 1857, but received his education in the Chicago public schools. His father, C. F. Hatterman, having emigrated from Germany, established himself in the real estate business in a 6X8 room on the corner of Milwaukee Avenue and Augusta Street in 1868.
The business has increased in the past thirty years to such an extent that Mr. William E. Hatterman, into whose hands it passed some years since, is now occupying fine offices at 768 Milwaukee Avenue, where he is doing a prosperous mortgage banking business, or real estate only, as circumstances may require. He is also President of the Hatterman Safety Deposit Vault Company, whose vaults were constructed in 1894 at a cost of $35,000, and are pronounced the safest and best arranged safety deposit vaults in the northwest part of the city. There are some 3,000 abstracts deposited in private vaults here, representing loans aggregating over $5,000,000. (from the 1905 issue of “History of Cook County”).
On January 26, 1928 the Hatterman & Glanz State Bank officially changed its address from 1110 to 1112 North Milwaukee Avenue - now an empty lot. (from the January 1928 issue of The Monthly Bulletin, issued by Oscar Nelson - auditor of public accounts , public department, State of Illinois).
