What’s That Building: Maxwell Street
from In the Loop with Sasha-Ann Simons
Reset received an email from a listener inquiring about the 700 block of Maxwell street, wondering about the story behind the historic 19th and 20th century facades. Reset’s architecture guru Dennis Rodkins explains how in the late 1990s, the University of Illinois Chicago redeveloped the area south of Roosevelt Road, the site of the Maxwell Street Market which led to the array of historic designs we see today.
