My husband's Great-Great Grandfather, Gustavus N. Miller had his offices (G.N. Miller & Son) in this building in the early 1900's. Does anyone happen to have any interior photos of the orignial Burke Building? Thank you for posting this! My husband’s Great-Great Grandfather, Gustavus N. Miller had his offices (G.N.

I hadn't realized it before but, yes, some of the elements from up high are now down around the Jackson Building's plaza walls. Thanks for this Jess. I used to work right behind one of the windows on the 18th floor of the Exchange Building visible right behind the Burke here. I now work exactly one and a half blocks west of the Burke's erstwhile front arch. Yes, the venerable arch is just barely visible at the bottom center, below the lamps.
