“Ithaca Loan Finance Inc. will move into a brand new building at 127 W. State St. Wednesday—the first tenant in the William A. Dillon Properties Corp’s newest structure.
The 25 by 80 foot, two-story building was designed by Richard E. Metzger, architect, of 111 Eastwood Ave.
Two driveways will service the 9,000-square-foot parking lot to be used by the company’s customers.
A pair of new features mark this latest addition to the Ithaca skyline: A Drive-In-Teller window which will enable a customer to transact business without leaving his car, and the 30-foot high blue pylon. Civic organizations will use the sign to announce their programs.” 
“Innovations Mark New Building,” Ithaca Journal, December 9, 1958, 2. 

"Crash, Bang, Boom! Bob Drake operates the hydraulic excavator that is demolishing a building at 127 W State St. Owned by Greenstate Partners, it was home to American Demographics Inc., which will return to the site upon completion of a new structure.”
