The Forest Paint Co. – Jordan’s Paints proudly showcased their products at their new location, 7250 Franklin St. (corner of Elgin Avenue and Franklin Street) in 1961. The paint production plant also sold paint at this location and was active in the community, sponsoring Little League and participating in sidewalk sales. In 1992 when the building went on the market, it was considered as a new home for the Forest Park Public Library before finally being converted into 16 condominiums.
