Schulze Baking Company Plant
Schulze Baking Company Plant, Industrial heritage site in Washington Park, Chicago, United States.
The Schulze Baking Company Plant spans five floors with white terra cotta walls and large windows aligned to complement decorative elements throughout the structure.
Built in 1914, this factory produced 150,000 loaves of bread daily and operated as Hostess Brands' Butternut Bread production facility until its closure in 2004.
The building reflects the industrial growth of Chicago's South Side, where numerous food production facilities shaped the neighborhood's development in the early 1900s.
Located at 40 East Garfield Boulevard, the structure stands between Washington Park and Dan Ryan Expressway, with protective scaffolding currently surrounding its perimeter.
The exterior features Sullivanesque architectural elements in cream and blue terra cotta, created by the Midland Terra Cotta Company with nature-inspired abstract patterns.
