*Links:
The home page of Century Mallet Service (which occupies part of the building) has a larger photo of the tower, which still bears the Deagan name even though the company is long gone.
The same photo appears as a Wikimedia image, which can be enlarged even further.
The Deagan Building is also the location of Art Walk Ravenswood, a non-profit group which seeks "to generate community investment in the artistic, industrial and historic importance of Ravenswood and to raise awareness for the unique hub of creative practices that exists" there.
Compiler's note: I have chosen to retain a site data page for this building in spite of the obvious absence of the former chime from its belfry, because this was the center of the musical empire which produced all of the Deagan tower chimes that are listed elsewhere on this Website.
Where this work lies in the sequence of output of the J.C.Deagan Company.
