The Warehouse — aka, the “birthplace” of House music — is on its way to becoming an official Chicago landmark.
The Warehouse , Werner Brothers Storage Building and Continental Can Company Building are all the 2023 list of Preservation Chicago's Most Endangered buildings. , the Warehouse — aka, the “birthplace” of House music — is on its way to becoming an official Chicago landmark.A monumental show of support from “Househeads” around the world brought the building at 206 S. Jefferson Ave.
The Warehouse opened in 1977, conceived as Chicago’s answer to New York City’s club scene. Owner Robert Williams recruited DJ Frankie Knuckles to make the move from the Big Apple to the Windy City, and the rest is history. “It’s hard to overstate the influence of the Warehouse and Knuckles,” said Matt Crawford of the Department of Planning and Development, who prepared the landmark report.
It was that specter of demolition that led people like Michael Ball, who works in artist relations and runs a music studio, to rush to defend what he told the commission was like “the Vatican, the Mecca of House music.” While the perceived threat to the building’s existence may have been a false alarm, the attention Preservation Chicago brought to an overlooked piece of the city’s history was long overdue.
