@theskyscraperguy: Built in just 11 months, this 100-year-old skyscraper was once the tallest tower in Chicago. Designated as a historical landmark in 2002, the craftsmanship and materials used to create this building represent a level of artistry lost to modern times. This is why we are on a mission to save this building for generations to come. Welcome to the Pittsfield Project.
So many bussiness opportunities and your saving the history. Definitely 100% worth it

I lived there for a summer in 2017! Paid $400/month and lived right across from Milennium Park. Seemed like a scam but it wasn’t, they just needed occupants lol

If you need a local chicago amateur historian to make videos about the design and architecture I’m your girl. Ultimate dream job. (Plus I have a real estate background)

Do an inspection of the mortar between the terra cotta joints on the exterior. In this brief video I glanced gaps. Maintaining the exterior is cheaper than lawsuits.

You could definitely have an arts space or a roof top bar with those views!

Event Designer in Chicago here!! It will 100% be worth the investment if you turn at least the upper terrace space into a venue for weddings and corporate events. That view, location, architecture, and historical significance is all prime selling points for it.

I am so glad you’re restoring it and not trying to change Chicago’s history because that building absolutely beautiful can’t stand when they try to change the history I’m born and raised in the city

Ohhhh I love that we’re bringing it back instead of tearing it down! 😍 Too much of the Tartarian old world was lost already
