Recently came across some old photos of the Chicago Linoleum Co. plant, a building located on Kingsbury and designed by Louis Sullivan. The Art Institute has some pics in their digital archives that shows the MILW in front of it.

Hopefully that works.

BTW, the building now houses Chicago's own Off Color Brewing's taproom called The Moustrap. Info here: http://www.offcolorbrewing.com/taproom/

A lot of these buildings are still around. In some of the older pics Kingsbury doesn't look accessible to cars. Is this just the angle?
