The United Electric Co. Building was a historic commercial building at 73 State Street in Springfield, Massachusetts. One of the city's few Beaux-Arts buildings, it was built in 1910 to serve as the headquarters of the United Electric Company, Springfield's supplier of electricity since the 1880s.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1] It has been mostly demolished, preserving the facade as part of the MGM Springfield casino project.
