Summary

Description The Proctor Building in Libertyville (1903). It was built during a period of economic boom for the town, resulting from a recent rail connection. A syndicate was formed by major investors who held interests in the financial resources of the community. R. J. Proctor was a member of this syndicate, and had the Proctor building built with his brothers and cousin. The building was the largest of three hotel buildings in Libertyville. In the 1920s, The Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company, the first national food store, moved into the building. A&P expanded the structure on the second floor. F. W. Woolworth Co. occupied part of the building alongside A&P starting in 1934. A&P built a new store directly across the street in 1937 and moved out of the Proctor Building. Replacing A&P was a Jewel Tea Food Store in 1940. Jewel was a tenant until it built a new store on East Cook Street in 1952. Woolworth's expanded in 1946, and remained until the early 1970s.
