A Legacy of Chicago Design

Chicago Wire Design Company

This historic building was once home to the Chicago Wire Design Company, a pioneering manufacturer that helped shape the city's industrial landscape. The iconic signage still graces the exterior, serving as a testament to Chicago's rich manufacturing heritage.

Founded in the early 1900s, Chicago Wire Design Company specialized in custom wire products and industrial design solutions. The building's robust construction and high ceilings were purpose-built for manufacturing, making it perfectly suited for today's creative endeavors.

Preserved Industrial Character

The original Chicago Wire Design Company signage remains visible on the building's exterior, connecting today's creative community with the industrial artisans who came before.
