The contractor selected to complete the project was M. A. Lombard and Son of Chicago, Illinois, who were known for their skill and experience in poured concrete construction. Work on the approximately thirty-two thousand-square-foot building was completed in 1966 at a cost of approximately $1 million,"--Michigan Modern website.
