           Building A

Built: 1903
Owner: The Hamilton Company
Hipped roof 4 story brick (3 story west wing)
Existing floor area: 35,500 SF
,

Overview:

Served as Sturtevant's 20th century general headquarters. Architectually, the Georgian Revival Style with a central projecting pavilion and granite base is quite attractive. The decorative cornice was replaced with a cement cap sometime in the 1950s, likely due to crumbling. The west wing was added in 1941, maintaining the stylistic characteristics of the older section. In 1949, the building became a footnote in criminal history when members of the gang that pulled off the infamous Brinks robbery, as a prelude, robbed the Sturtevant payroll at gunpoint in the basement.
