Show morePhotograph of the Institute of Gas Technology. The building was designed by Alfred S. Alschuler, constructed in 1940-1941 and demolished in 1968. The building is located at 13 West 33rd Street. The building was constructed in the early 1940s to serve as as an Armour Research Foundation laboratory building and soon became the first headquarters of the Institute of Gas Technology. An addition was built for the IGT in 1944. The State Street Building also housed Illinois Tech's temporary gymnasium in the mid-1960s. Some reports indicate that this building included a row of 1880s storefronts along State Street, others that the pre-existing section of structure was built in 1926. The building was also known as: Institute of Gas Technology (1940s), Armour Research Foundation State Street Building (ca. 1945-ca. 1954), Armour Research Foundation Laboratory (1940s), Armour Research Foundation Chemistry Research Building 1 (1950s), Armour Research Foundation Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Building (ca. 1955), IIT Research Institute Laboratory (1960s), IIT Service (1960s).
