WEST TOWN
3300 Franklin offers a seamless fusion of modern design and historic architectural detail—purposefully upgraded for today’s cannabis industry.
Extensive exterior and masonry renovations completed in 2020 include new energy-efficient windows, upgraded electrical capacity to support cultivation and extraction, a new core and shell, two partitioned restrooms per floor, a new passenger elevator, and skylights along the sawtooth roof—maximizing natural light for compliant cannabis use and industrial workflows.
PAST
The sprawling factory at the corner of Franklin Boulevard and Spaulding Avenue employed upwards of 1,000 men and women and its mid-century peak. From the 1920s through the ‘50s, an employee of the Wilson Jones Company could spend his or her shift enjoying the scent of fresh cut paper products and leather book bindings. The former Wilson Jones building was eventually abandoned, fell into terrible disrepair, and then—in just the past few years—was unexpectedly saved and fully renovated! A rare happy ending for a Made In Chicago storyline.
PRESENT
