Lorado Taft Midway Studios
Lorado Taft Midway Studios, Historical artist studio complex at University of Chicago, United States.
The building combines a two-story Victorian house at its northern end with single-story sections connecting to two-story barn structures.
Sculptor Lorado Taft established these working studios on the University of Chicago campus in 1906, operating them until his death in 1929.
The architectural firm Pond and Pond designed thirteen individual studios within the complex to accommodate both Taft and other working sculptors.
The Department of Visual Arts and Creative Writing program now occupies the renovated spaces, which include modern classrooms and offices.
The structure originated from two converted barns and a Victorian house, later transformed into an interconnected artistic workspace complex.
