JJH Through the Years

JJH’s Historic Main Office Building

In 1964, Don Henderson purchased two vacant, adjacent buildings on Grand Avenue in Gurnee and combined them into one. The buildings date back to the late 1800’s, having been a feed & seed store, a general store, post office, sheet metal company and cleaning company. After some remodeling, JJH moved into the building in 1965. In 1972, a second story was added over the office area.
