At 112th & St Lawrence in Chicago's Pullman neighborhood. I should point out: there are four of these buildings. They form a perimeter and in the center is the old Market Hall, now being rebuilt. This area is a part of Pullman, which was originally a company town built by railroad car manufacturer George Pullman in the late 1800s. Google him and the town to learn a fascinating tale of a place that influenced transportation architecture, landscaping, the american labor movement. and the American civil rights movement. Market Hall was a produce and bakery market for Pullman workers. Ness Bakery was there, owned by the parents of (guess who?) Eliot Ness! Supposedly young Eliot worked there.
