The Fine Things are Always Hand Made

Scott Buildings in Chicago

I am in Chicago this weekend for the ARCI meet and presenting on Scott. Whenever I am in Chicago, I try to visit the old building at 4450 N Ravenswood Ave. On this trip, I also wanted to find the 3 sites used during (and after) WW2. 4525 N Ravenswood became the "civilian" offices for Scott during the war, and this small building still stands. 4541 is a larger building, known as "Factory #2" during the war. After the war and Scott's departure, 4541 became the main building until they moved to Plymouth, IN. The final building, called "Factory #3" was at 4757 N Ravenswood, but it is no longer with us. I should note that the address 4450 Ravenswood is no longer used, the old doorway facing the street is sealed up and the building "official" address is now on Sunnyside Ave, the cross street.
