Looking for modern office space with a historic flair? The Light and Power Building is located at 520 Francis in downtown St. Joseph and offers the best of both worlds.
Built in 1923 for Milton Tootle Jr. by acclaimed St. Joseph architect Walter Boschen, the Classical Revival structure has long served downtown St. Joseph as a commercial office building. It was built at time of significant construction in the commercial center of the city due to growth in the business sector. For the first quarter century of its life it was known as the Tootle Building. Its most famous tenant was the Light and Power Company, known in earlier years as the St. Joseph Railway, Light, Heat & Power Company. In the 1950s, the Power Company purchased the building from the Tootle Estate and it became known as the Light and Power Building. Many people in St. Joseph remember going in to the imposing lobby with their parents to pay their electric bills. In addition to the Power Company, the building provided office space for many of the leading professionals in the city including doctors, dentists, and many of the most prominent law firms.
The Light and Power Building is a contributing structure in St. Joseph’s Commerce and Banking Historic District.
The Light and Power Building has roughly 50,000 sq. feet spread across 5 floors of professional office space. There are reception areas, private offices, conference rooms of varying sizes, kitchens & bathrooms. The building features upgraded lighting and 2x2 acoustical ceilings. There is adjacent parking for 30+ vehicles.
