NORMAL, Ill. (AP) — A 125-year-old former horse barn near uptown Normal is getting a face-lift inside and out.

Crews recently completed tuck-pointing the brick on the east side of the former Dillon horse barn, 102 W. Phoenix Ave., and have gutted and started remodeling the largest of the two units in what now is an 11-unit apartment building owned by Ralph Endress and Ken Verkler. Work is expected to be finished by mid-August for student move-in.
