The 400 West Rich building was initially owned by the D.A. Ebinger Sanitary Manufacturing Company. This company made the original refrigerated drinking fountains. The company had showrooms in New York as well as Chicago during the 1920s. This was the introduction of porcelain sinks and toilets to secondary manufacture.
