Paramount Lofts |
|
140 S. Ashland Chicago, Il 60607 |
|
On Saturday, September 19, 1925, W.A.
Wieboldt and Company opened what was
then known as its “Midwest Store” to
great fanfare and celebration. And for
good reason. Occupying a site that
stretched from Adams to Monroe and
Ashland to Ogden, the building was the
largest Chicago department store outside
of the Loop. It was certainly the
finest, as well: an architectural
triumph that became a point of great
pride for what was then a tightly knit
residential neighborhood. Which is only
fitting today, as the historic building
prepares to reemerge as the hottest new
residence in the city’s hottest
residential neighborhood.This is
Paramount Lofts. |

Complete Chicago Loft Directory |
|
A true loft for Chicago is a conversion of a vintage factory or
warehouse, having a harder edge of either concrete construction, or
"mill" construction of exposed brick and original wood posts, beams
and floors. Ceilings should be over ten feet high at least. This is
increasingly very important for loft purchasers, as developers are
now building condos with slightly higher ceilings than in the past.
It is the height that helps give a Chicago loft the feeling of air
and space. Larger windows and open concept layouts also help.
Ceilings are unfinished and pipes and heating ducts are exposed. Do
not expect to find a 1,000 square foot loft divided up into two
bedrooms and a den. It will much more likely have a kitchen and a
bathroom with the rest of the space left as one large open room,
which you can work with and use according to your own functions and
needs. Some people think a loft means you have a second mezzanine
level overlooking the floor below, but this is simply one style of
loft.
