This is the main entrance of the (old) Maybelline Building on Ridge Avenue in Chicago. the script "M" cast into the concrete above the entrance--standing, of course, for Maybelline.
The four sets of windows on the second floor were the four offices on "Executive Row." They now have curtains, so they've probably been converted to apartments. The glass brick wall runs along the production area as it existed in the '60s.
The building to the left is a nursing home, built since the Maybelline days.
Here's a view along the N. Clark Street line of the Maybelline Building. It's all one big store now, but those little entries were each smaller stores when Maybelline was there.
Review.....I have read The Maybelline Story book. I found this is a remarkable story! I cannot keep my eyes off of it! Your Great Uncle Tom Lyle Williams is a true icon of Maybelline! Thank you again!
