Crown Point
Posted by Kevin Kastner in Historical Posts on May 12th, 2009We stopped in Crown Point on the way to Chicago. I was impressed by the town square, as it seemed more lively and populated than many others in the state. And, of course, the historic courthouse is impressive:
I love this theater. Â I’m imagining it’s historic, with a remodel from the 1970’s. Â Totally unique.
There were quite a few motorcycles about:
Quaint:
This picture didn’t turn out great, but I was amused by the fact that the door to the Accountants Office (in the lower right of the picture) is directly underneath the banner for the Zombie Club. Â Zombie Accountants!
I was in Crown Point a few weeks ago also, Kevin. I went to the Crown Brewery there. You might check out their building as they did quite a bit to preserve it.
In addition to the building they use, they own the old jail next door to the brewery. It is pretty awesome.

I don’t know how I missed that place! It’s right off the main street. Looks cool.
Love the pic of the Crown, very nice.
