If you live in DeKalb or even if you are just visiting you most likely have seen the beautiful and historic McCabe’s building in the heart of downtown. It’s four story intricate façade is an eye-catching element of the downtown area.

McCabe’s opened in 1933 (not at the current location) and quickly became a beloved gathering spot for the community.
