| Additional Information: | 2024: The warehouse building was constructed in 1929 at the northeast corner of W. Lincoln Avenue and S. 1st Street and west of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad corridor. At one point, the building served as the grocery warehouse and bakery for the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. The building consists of four distinct volumes: a central five-story volume, a one-story volume wrapping the north and west elevations of the five-story volume, a four-story volume at the south end of the building, and a one-story volume extending from the south end of the east elevation of the four-story volume. There are two external stair towers at the northwest and southwest ends of the five-story volume. A series of loading bays are in the first story of the west elevation facing the associated parking lot. The building is a concrete-frame fireproof manufacturing building with brick spandrel walls and regularly spaced window openings. The windows are predominantly 20-light steel sash windows with central hoppers as well as three-over-three hung steel sash windows and two-over-two hung steel sash windows. Several of the vehicular doors in the loading bays have been replaced with glazed overhead garage doors. 2016 - Four-story concrete-frame fireproof factory building with brick spandrel walls and original metal windows. Stair towers at north and south ends, loading bays at southwest corner. Adjacent to railroad corridor. |
