Sears, Roebuck and Company Complex
Sears, Roebuck and Company Complex, National Historic Landmark in North Lawndale, Chicago, US
The Sears, Roebuck and Company Complex spans 40 acres with a central administration building, merchandise development house, mail order facility, and power plant.
Construction of this massive commercial complex began in 1905 by Thompson-Starrett Co, following designs from architectural firm Nimmons & Fellows.
The complex introduced athletic facilities in the 1920s, including tennis courts and clubhouses, establishing organized sports events for employee engagement.
The buildings transformed into Homan Square, a mixed-use development containing residences, commercial spaces, and community centers following its closure in 1993.
The facility maintained its own police department, fire department, and private bank, operating as a self-contained commercial city within Chicago.
