The Oliver Typewriter headquarters building was completed in 1907 and two floors were added in 1920. The cast iron exterior features typewriter-related motifs. The building was declared a Chicago Landmark in 1984. In the 1990s when the adjacent Oriental Theatre expanded its backstage area the interior of the Oliver Typewriter building was gutted but one-third of its original steel structure, as well as the building's Dearborn facade and a portion of its alley façade were preserved.]]>

A decade after the photo was taken, 1893, this section of the Square burned to the ground. A newspaper article indicated that the fire was accidentally started by someone who was smoking opium in the livery stable behind the Church Millinery building. The Church Millinery building is the two story framed building with two windows on the second floor.
In 1899 Malachi Church erected a new brick building, however he died of pneumonia before he was able to occupy it. Beginning 1902, and lasting 76 years, the Woodstock Dry Goods Store operated out of the first floor of the Church building. In 1910 the Illinois Bell Telephone Company moved their telephone exchange into the second floor using the space until the company built a new facility on the northeast corner of Jackson and Tryon Streets in 1959.
Milachi Church came to McHenry county with his parents in 1851 and moved to Woodstock around 1855. He served as County Sherriff from 1873-77 and again from 1881-83. His 1899 obituary stated he “was a man of jovial nature, and no one enjoyed a good joke better than he which made him popular with all who made his acquaintance” and that he “was a man of enterprising spirit evidenced by the beautiful structure he erected… The building will forever remain as a monument to his enterprise, as marking the last act of his life.”
