"SAVED! The Warehouse Receives Preliminary Landmark Designation!
The Warehouse, at 206 S. Jefferson St., received a preliminary landmark recommendation following a unanimous vote from the Commission on Chicago Landmarks on April 13, 2023.
From 1977 to 1982, the three-story West Loop building served as the dance club where House music was born, led by pioneering DJ Frankie Knuckles.
This designation protects this precious building from demolition and inappropriate alterations.
THANK YOU to everyone who helped make it happen, everyone who signed and shared the petition, everyone who wrote articles and helped spread the word, everyone who submitted comments to the Commission, and everyone who spoke.
We did it, because we did it together!
Bravo!"
