Charcoal Factory Loft
1684 N Ada St, Chicago, IL 60642, USA- Spaces for 35-100 Guests
- 1 Event Space
Fifteen years ago Stuart Grannen, the founder of the Chicago staple, Architectural Artifacts Inc., purchased an old Charcoal factory in the Lincoln Park neighborhood. He and an internationally acclaimed designer converted this incredible factory space into an AIA award winning home. They kept as much of the original interior finishes to keep the integrity of the building. Stuart began receiving requests for photoshoots and small parties which led him to the conclusion that this space was too special to keep to himself! He has decided to let others share in the joy of this architectural masterpiece. If you're looking to host 15 guests for a dinner party or 60 of your closest family and friends for an intimate wedding, Charcoal Factory Lofts is a space like no other in Chicago!
