The Whirlpool Employees Federal Credit Union was designed by John Hironimus and built in 1968. The building last housed the Diamond Valley Federal Credit Union. It is currently vacant. In the 1950s, Evansville's Whirlpool Refrigeration plant was the largest in the country. It closed in 2010. [map]

The Illinois Central School Bus building appeared to be from the 1960s. Does anyone know what was here originally? It looked like it might have been a car showroom. The building was demolished around 2022.
