Many, many Chicago buildings share these basic features. (And what Louis Sullivan, for instance, worked against.) The older photo has attached flat classiscal 'pilasters' in the upper zone of the typical, base-column-shaft set up that many buildings from this era rely on. The newer building has a distinct 'piano nobile' or elaborated second floor, which the older photo lacks. The number of 'bays' is the same, as the location of the string course moldings.
LYON AND HEALY HARP FACTORY LOCATION WINDOWS
The corner windows are different on the newer photo, being two separate windows rather than the common "Chicago Window" horizontal in orientation with two subdivisions as you see in the older photo.
LYON AND HEALY HARP FACTORY LOCATION FULL
I can't quite tell from the photos but I imagine the building might have gone through a full facade 'face lift' to be the same as in the photo. took over Lyon & Healy but continued production of this instrument line, they were referred to as “Washburn by Tonk Bros.” They were finally discontinued in the 1930s, having a run of less than 20 years. The later asymmetrical Style As were renamed the Washburn “Deluxe.” From 1928, when Tonk Bros. He and Philip Gabriel made the bodies while their colleague, Fritz Brunner, made the necks and carved the lovely scrolls on the Style A's. So, by the end of that year, only harps continued to be made by Lyon & Healy – as they are to this day.Īccording to George Manno, Joseph Zorzi was the person in charge of Lyon & Healy's mandolin production in the early 1920's.
took over Lyon & Healy’s band instrument production. (They did their best to produce instruments built to the same quality standards as Lyon & Healy but were bankrupt by 1930, about five months after the stock market crashed.) Also in 1928, the Holton Co.
acquired the machinery and patent rights for the Lyon & Healy fretted instruments. In any case, cribbing from Bob Devellis's page, during the 1920s, Lyon & Healy evolved from an instrument builder to a musical wholesaler. But I think the fabled fire (I'm not sure there really was a fire, it might be like the CF Martin fire that never happened) took place in this building. There was an earlier L&H building, at least according to an old catalog cover I saw once, with horses in front. The facade was changed, but the windows are the same. Mick - the second photo and the catalog image are both the same building, look again.
