About Keystone Lofts

The four-story Keystone Building was built in 1922 as the Joseph George & Newhall Building. It underwent a facelift after the Aurora Silverplate Company relocated, a move that saw part of the building demolished. The demolished portion was later incorporated into a new structure.

The Keystone's unique design includes glazed brick, iron and ornamental terra cotta and glazed terrazzo throughout its sprawling footprint. The ground floor comprises six retail space while the upper floors are divided into office suites. Each floor has its own central lobby.

One of the most recognizable building in Aurora, the Keystone was added to the National Park Service's National Register of Historic Places on March 18, 1980.
