Herlihy Mid-Continent Company of Illinois was established in the year 1919 by F.J. Herlihy. With the main office located in Downtown 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.
