93 – Cluskey Mortuary
202 N.E. Madison, just behind South Side Bank (414 Hamilton). Cudo’s to Josh Harris for his excellent sleuthing ability, but I would expect nothing less from a GeoCacher.
This is the only reference I could find to the Cluskey Mortuary:

Looks like I’m going to spend yet another weekend driving around Peoria in search of the answer to the latest posting.

Actually, I don’t think you can see it from the road. Ooops!

This one’s tough – Old brick building, new windows, road sloped down to the river, hmmm perhaps somewhere near Water St?

212 NE Madison. I don’t know the name of the building but there is office space for lease. The picture was taking from the Hamilton side with South Side Bank in the background. I went looking for it tonight with a couple of ideas. Couldn’t find it. We got home and I showed the picture to Kara and she said, what’s in the reflection. I said, its South Side Bank and Associated Bank. Well, I know where this is and I so happen to need gas. Got to love 9 pm gas runs.

Do you know anything about Cluskey Mortuary? I tried googling it, but nothing.

The address is actually 202. Easier to see during the day!
