An Uptown Landmark Gets A Well-Deserved Cleaning

The Aquitania Building at 5000 N. Marine Drive
The Aquitania Building at 5000 N. Marine Drive has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places for some time now. It was built in 1923 and designed by New York architects Ralph Harris and Byron Jillson.

Neighbors have noticed the building has been getting a well-deserved cleaning of the limestone covering the first 4 floors. Years of grime and soot have built up on the building and the before and after really shows how much of a difference a good cleaning can make!
