We’ve been taking care of the Crest Hill community for over 40 years.” The practice was founded in 1968 by Dr. Morton Barnett, who is retired. Kelleher joined in 1992 and now serves as medical director. The group is the biggest dermatology practice in the state and it features one of the largest laser centers in the country, Kelleher said.

The Crest Hill building, will feature glazed block and glass block elements. It was designed by Nevin Hedlund Architects in River Forest. “It’s a nice addition to the city,” said Warren Waterson, project superintendent for Lombard. “The landscaping and surrounding grounds will be designed to compliment this striking building.

An Extraordinary 25th
Anniversary Celebration!
In 1979, The Lombard Co. built a nine-story, 139 unit building for the
elderly in Chicago's Chinatown. The building is adorned, in striking form,
with symbols and ornamental panels coated in bright red and green,
reflecting the Oriental culture of its tenants and the surrounding
community. In order to make the project possible, the Lombard family became
partners with a Chinese organization called Neighborhood Development
Assistance, headed by Mr. G. H. Wang.
G.H. Wang sought the help of the late Michael A. Lombard, founder of The
Lombard Company, knowing Michael understood Wang's vision of Oriental design
and technological advancements. Acting as a general contractor for the
project, The Lombard Company made molds in its Alsip, Illinois, shop to
create the Chinese designs that embellish the Chinatown senior citizens
apartment complex they built at 23rd Street and Princeton Avenue.
Taking advantage of special technology developed by a partnership of the
structural engineer Dr. Paul Mast and the architect, Duane Linden, The
Lombard Company was able to precast the entire building at its Alsip plant
and assemble it on site at a considerable cost savings. Because of the
vision, spirit and humanitarian goals shared by Wang and Lombard, this
senior housing project remains as a social and economic success and a model
for affordable housing developments.
On June 12, we celebrated the 25th anniversary of the opening of the
Chinatown elderly housing project. It was quite an event, attended by
representatives of the Mayor's office, the Governor's office and numerous
high ranking Chinese officials. As a part of the day's ceremonies, as
ordered by Chicago's City Council in a resolution adopted on May 26, 2004,
portions of 23rd Street bear the honorary street name sign "G.H. Wang
Street", and portions of Princeton Avenue bear the honorary street name sign
"Michael A. Lombard Avenue" in honor of those responsible for the building's
construction. |

Another Excellence Award
LAPPCO has been awarded the 2003 Excellence in Precast Design Award from
Precast/Prestressed Producers of Illinois and Wisconsin for its work in the
Northwestern University McCormick Tribune Center at the Evanston, Illinois,
campus.
Precast concrete was the ideal material for the sculptural shapes comprising
the structure. The panels were attached column-to-column to steel framework
in three primary areas of the center, including a thin, four-story
rectangular section surrounding a glass entry and common area; a thicker,
four-story windowed section of classrooms and media facilities; and a
curved, forum-style theater. The limestone look helped the building to blend
in with surrounding architectural designs. |
