Built by the Studebaker company for the assembly and display of their
carriages and wagons, this building was converted into studios and
theaters for artists and craftsmen in 1898. The renovation involved
adding three floors and designing an interior that would reflect the
interests of the new tenants. The interior public spaces, including
murals on the 10th floor, remain virtually untouched from the 1898
remodeling. |
