The Bailey–Rugg Building was a historic commercial building located at 219–225 North Neil Street in Champaign, Illinois.

Description and history[edit]

Businessmen David Bailey and Daniel Rugg built the building as a joint venture in 1871; each merchant occupied half of the building, with a common staircase connecting the two halves. The three-story, brick building had an Italianate design. The tall, narrow windows on the second and third stories featured arched stone hoods; the arches on the front windows were divided by keystones. A metal cornice with ornamental bracketing and panels ran below the flat roof.[2]

The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 7, 1997.[1]

In 2008, eleven years to the date after its National Register listing, the building burned down in an unexplained fire.[3] It was removed from the National Register in 2020.
