BELLEVILLE — Mark C. Milton, a Belleville native and founder of Milton Law Group, has acquired a historic downtown Belleville building and plans to renovate it into a Southern Illinois satellite office for his tax law practice, with an upstairs residential unit to be leased as “The Jefferson Loft.”
Through his real estate holdings company, Miltchester Properties LLC, Milton purchased the 3,485-square-foot, 2.5-story property at 122 W. Main St. in the heart of downtown Belleville. The building was originally constructed in 1900. Milton said he plans to invest upwards of $100,000 in renovations and will rename the structure “The Jefferson Building” in honor of his years at Jefferson Elementary School in Belleville.
“Opening an office on Main Street is more than a business expansion; it’s a homecoming,” Milton said. “Belleville shaped who I am, from my days at Jefferson Elementary to Wolf Branch to Belleville East. I am thrilled to join the vibrant Main Street business community and contribute to the growth and future of the city.”…
