Land Title Block Building

-A A +A
1889, Haggard and Sanguinet. 111 E. 4th St.

Originally housing the Chamberlin Development Company and the related Land Mortgage Bank, this building is remarkable for its polychrome coloration and exquisitely detailed materials. Red brick, red sandstone, and white limestone are augmented by brightly colored glazed tile and stained glass. Its charm and such noted tenants as Nick Kithas’s “Daddios” jazz club in the 1970s and the “Flying Saucer” in the 1990s have maintained the building’s viability. The building inspired much of the detailing in the newer structures surrounding Sundance Square.
