Architectural Artifacts is located within Chicago’s historic Ravenswood neighborhood. Ravenswood Avenue itself is still a true center of creative productivity. Steel fabricators, record labels, letterpress and silkscreen printers, a pottery school, etc. are all found here in our slice of the city.
Our two large, quintessentially ‘Chicagoan,’ brick buildings date from 1900 or thereabouts. Recall the motto, “Chicago: the City that Works.” Our north building was home to a manufacturer of needles for several decades, and you can bet that our south building was also home to some kind of activity involving burly men, large machinery and probably a fair amount of dirt.
Our fantastic, four-story atrium is recently-built and it perfectly ties together the two old buildings while serving as a giant light well, circulation hub and event space.
