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.
