A Building with a Rich History: 315 N Racine

315 N Racine is a contributing building within the Fulton Market Historic District, an area recognized for its pivotal role in Chicago’s industrial and commercial development. The property has a deep-rooted industrial legacy, originally housing the Bunge Vinegar & Yeast Company.

Established in the late 19th century, the building was a key player in Chicago’s food manufacturing industry, supplying essential ingredients for local bakeries, breweries, and food production. The site's transformation from a vinegar and yeast factory into a state-of-the-art workspace embodies the evolution of Fulton Market from an industrial hub to a premier business district.

Today, the historic charm of exposed brick, high ceilings, and industrial aesthetics is preserved while integrating modern amenities, maintaining its contribution to the rich history of Fulton Market.
