The practice of
converting industrial
loft space for residential use
truly took off in the 1960s when
artists in New York’s SoHo district
popularized the trend. The gener-
ous ceiling heights, exposed brick,
and open spaces fit well with the
bohemian lifestyle – as did the ini-
tially low price tags. Today, many
of Chicago’s old industrial
spaces, such as this build-
ing, are now sought-
after as condos.
