Chicago Varnish Company Building
Chicago Varnish Company Building, Dutch Renaissance Revival building in Near North Side, Chicago, US
The Chicago Varnish Company Building features red brick walls with light stone accents, stepped gables, and a steep clay tile roof at 33 West Kinzie Street.
Constructed in 1895 as headquarters for a major varnish manufacturer, the structure received National Register of Historic Places designation in June 2001.
Architect Henry Ives Cobb incorporated Dutch Renaissance Revival elements into this industrial building, reflecting late 19th century architectural preferences in Chicago.
The building now houses Harry Caray's Italian Steakhouse, which opened in 1987 following extensive restoration of the roof and stepped parapets.
The structure received the Chicago Landmarks Preservation Excellence award in 2006 for the precise restoration of its Ludowici roof system.
