The condition of the photo is nice, however there is a slice in the upper right hand corner (please see photo) I did not see a date, however it appears to be from the 1920's Some information on this SOUTH LOOP CHICAGO BUILDING: One of those things that were much more in demand in the olden days were printing presses, and the rollers that made them work. So much so that the Rapid Roller Company built a 17,000 square foot factory at 2556 South Federal Street. Eventually company printing presses gave way to copy machines, which gave way to laser printers, which gave way to not printing anything to save trees. The trees grew. The printing companies shrank, and what was left is an empty loft building on 26th Street, just across I-55 from the former Ickes Homes projects.Now there are plans to bring the building back to life. Paperwork filed with the city outlines a plan by Anexis Development to turn it into a mixed-use building with 12,000 square feet of retail space on the first two floors, and 24 residences on the floors above. The name is Federal Street Lofts. The designer is KTGY up in River North. And if you’re a railfan, it’s right next to a set of Metra tracks.Developer: Anexis DevelopmentAddress: 2548 South Federal StreetRoof height: 55 feet, 9 inchesTower height: 81 1/2 feetAuto parking: 28 spacesPLEASE SEE MY OTHER LISTINGS AND STORE FOR SIMILAR ITEMS AND COMBINE FOR THE LOWEST POSTAGE.
