I love these buildings, and this sector of Chicago’s economy. U.S. Spice Mills is a 40-year-old spice wholesaler. A google search brings up tons of import data and it’s crazy to see shipments like “10000 kg dehydrated whole coriander seed”.

The longtime home of the legendary DJ, manager, and club owner Pervis Spann in Auburn Gresham. The house was originally designed by notable local architect Elmer Carlson in 1939, and Spann lived here from the late 1960s until his death in 2022. The place is still in his family's hands.

Finally saw this today with my own eyes: 3140 W. 99th Street, Evergreen Park. ca. 1967. It's called the Kiwi Condominiums. Building nerds extraordinaire
@ladytophamcatt.bsky.social
and

conjecture that the architect was Carl Federici.

Just because it’s a dreary day, a little visual stimulation from the Roanoke Building. I love these grand mailboxes. The tile isn’t colorful, but those swirls!

PFISTER BG?, mystery sign at 154 W. Hubbard, I believe built in 1890 as 103-07 Michigan St., for someone not named Pfister (John Miller on ledger). Can't find name otherwise associated w/ building. A little help?

It is a truth universally acknowledged that Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Church (Dankmar Adler, 1899) is peak architecture. But give some love to its 1965 addition, at 4511 S. Vincennes, designed by Robert C. Taylor.

this school has a fascinating story it started as an elementary, they added on to make a junior high, they built the high school addition to encourage attendance they worked with students to make a schedule so kids still work and make wages to help their families and it was a community center

Home and studio of noted suburban architect R. Harold Zook. The building was saved by preservationists and moved to a nearby Hinsdale park where the historical society is trying to turn it into a community space. Zook is best known for the Pickwick Theatre & St. Charles City Hall

The Ridge Historical Society is sending its 2 biggest nerds to this event tomorrow to infodump on the unsuspecting public. I will also be running a presentation that uses my own family archives to talk about how now more than ever it is incredibly important to preserve & tell our stories ourselves.
