This address is not far form me, so I walked over today to have a look. It is now a residence, this is just finishing construction. This stretch of Ravenswood still has some factories, I got to visit one further north a few years back, Electro-Technic Products, which makes Tesla Coils. Scott Radio, the makers of the high end radios with the big chrome chassis were also on Ravenswood, the building was still there when I last looked.
Sorry this is somewhat off topic, I'm interested in documenting Chicago's old electronic manufactures.

I wonder what is at that address now... If I still lived in Chicago, it would be interesting to go look.
