an early 20th century factory with white glazed terra cotta (possibly fabricated by the midland terra cotta company) located at 825-855 w. adams is undergoing demolition. thanks to moshe tamssot for bringing this to my attention. i photographed the exterior a few weeks ago, but looking at the latest images provided by True West Loop, the wreckers have arrived to take down yet another portal to the past in the west loop. i hope – at the very least – the ornamental terra cotta can be recused.

the architect, date of construction, and client will be added as time permits.
