The former Illinois State Police District 6 headquarters, a unique gun-shaped building built in 1941 on Route 66 near Pontiac, likely will receive a designation on the National Register of Historic Places, reports the Bloomington Pantagraph.
But the future of the building is uncertain. It sits unused now, as it has plumbing and roof problems. But there remains some interest in the property, and it may be sold soon.
The building is listed on the Illinois Route 66 Association’s Hall of Fame.
UPDATE: The Pontiac Daily Leader has a similar story, along with a picture of the building.
