La Lucé Building, Queen Anne Victorian building at Lake Street and Ogden Avenue, Chicago, United States.
La Lucé Building is a four-story structure with bay windows, brick walls, and copper details topped by a turret with a weathervane. It displays characteristic Queen Anne Victorian features with visible ornaments across its facade.
The building was constructed in 1892 as a Schlitz-tied house with apartments, following a purchase by Edward Uihlein. It dates from an era when such establishments connected closely to Chicago's brewing heritage.
The building housed La Lucé restaurant from 1989 to 2016, serving traditional Italian food in Chicago's changing Near West Side neighborhood. It was a gathering place where the community came to eat and spend time together.
The location sits at Lake Street and Ogden Avenue in the West Loop area and is easy to find. The building received Chicago Landmark status in 2021, protecting it from future demolition.
Michael Jordan once maintained an office within this building, connecting it to notable Chicago figures. This is a detail many visitors overlook when passing by the structure.
