Quincy in Adams County, Illinois — The American Midwest (Great Lakes)
Niemann Building
On this exact spot, the corner stone placed in 1910 for the construction of one of the finest; best commercial buildings in this entire area.
Through the years, many very successful businesses were housed here. In later years several very select Niemann family businesses were very successful here.
This four story building was destroyed by fire; arson. However, the goodness and greatness it represents will and shall last forever.
Prior to the fire, negotiations were in place to have our building established in the National Historic Registry.
Erected 2002 by Ferdinand and Antoinette Niemann and family.
