The Brewster

Finding undiscovered areas of coolness in Chicago is always fun. This past weekend I finally got a peak inside the Brewster building, where my good friend has called home for a few years. Commissioned in 1893 by E.H. Turnock, it is an example of the steel frame construction that was popular during that time. Wandering by Diversey and Pine Grove you would never know from the outside that this building has such an amazing interior. A few movies were shot here back in the day, and Charlie Chaplin lived in the pent house suite at one time. They sure don't make 'em like they used to...
