I got an e-mail from Alderman Reilly's office last week about the Germania Club. I have to admit, I've walked past this building a number of times, but never really noticed it, other than to note that it has one of the nicest, friendliest Starbucks outlets in the area. Fortunately, others have learned to appreciate the building's architectural merits, so now it's headed for landmark status.
