One of the Butler Brothers' massive catalog warehouses on Canal Street, built in 1917 and converted in 1999 into one of the largest loft condominium buildings in Chicago.
Butler Brothers was a wholesale and catalog giant, and its warehouses by Graham, Anderson, Probst & White — the firm that carried on Daniel Burnham's practice — were built to match: brick cliffs along the river with Tuscan arcades at the top, more Florentine palazzo than factory. After the catalog era the building carried offices and warehousing for decades, including railroad and telephone-company tenants.
The residential conversion arrived in 1999, creating about 341 loft condominiums — among the largest single loft buildings in the city.
Randolph Place is concrete-and-steel loft living at downtown scale: big floor plates, roughly ten-foot ceilings in most homes (taller on the top floor), and a location that trades charm-block quiet for genuine convenience — Metra at Ogilvie across the street, the Loop a walk over the bridge, Fulton Market's restaurants a few blocks north. In a building this size, the association's scale is part of the deal: amenities and reserves run deeper, and so does the range of finishes unit to unit.
