Herlihy Mid-Continent Company of Illinois was established in the year 1919 by F.J. Herlihy. With the main office located in D ... owntown Chicago, Herlihy began its journey by constructing buildings and other structures around the City of Chicago. In the 1920's Herlihy Mid-Continent Company made its mark on regional history when it built 70% of the original upper and lower Wacker Drives, then a visionary project that required long hours of skilled work using progressive construction methods and now a landmark of Chicago. Needing more space for expansion and equipment storage, the Company moved from Downtown Chicago to the southwestern suburbs where a new facility was built. This provided additional office space as well as a maintenance shop and a large yard for equipment and material storage. Today, with nearly 100 years of experience, Herlihy Mid-Continent Company has become a leader in the construction industry. As a strong, solid Company, Herlihy has earned an unprecedented reputation for excellence in concrete construction in Metropolitan Chicago. read more
