185 N Morgan – Chicago

Landmarks District projects are always quite involved and satisfying for the sales team at Bricks Incorporated.   Multiple retail units were constructed using Watsontown 16″ long face brick. The Architectural of Record (Bureau of Architecture and Design) worked with the developer, contractor and suppliers to ensure that the requirements of Chicago Landmark’s Department were met, and exceeded.

Location: 185 North Morgan, Chicago, Illinois

Products: Watsontown Brick Company 16″ Long brick.  2.25″ Height x 15-5/8″ length with beautiful 1:8 ratios draw out the horizontal lines of the building and draw specific attention to the corbel details about the window openings.

Developed by Shapack Partners, the new tenant retail building is just a few feet away from the CTA and 1 block from the busy Fulton Market.

LG Development partnered again with Bricks Incorporated for the custom materials.  Check out their project link here.

This project won a 2017 “Preservation Excellence” award for New Construction from Chicago Landmarks!
