History

The Alice Building, located at 236 Westminster Street, is a seven-story classical revival structure that was built in 1898 by rubber baron Joseph Banigan and named for his daughter. In its heyday during the turn of the century it was part of a large department store and used also as offices.

I am so amazed with the work that he did, I dream of someday becommin as greatly appreciated as he was. I would also like to someday live in the Alice building.
