Both interior and exterior renovations are taking shape for Fulton Market’s old Pennsylvania Railroad Terminal Building, located at 375 N Morgan Street in Fulton Market district. Developed in partnership between Guinness and Fred Latsko, the structure is being converted into the beer maker’s second US location, which will feature a 10-barrel brewery, a pub, and a restaurant.

The exterior design will shift away from the street art that once covered its outer walls. In its place will be a more subdued chocolate-colored brickwork, complemented by Guinness branding, burnt orange metal, expansive warehouse-styled windows, and a patio area. Inside will be exposed brick walls and beams, a chandelier, and a large glass wall system for patrons to observe the beer making process.

During the last few months, the scope of the work has included the removal of non-load bearing walls, full demolition of the building’s westernmost section, and power-washing of the original street art. These removed elements have begun to undergo replacement, while the interior build-out is now showing signs of progress.

Despite no-onsite parking, there are currently several street and parking lot options for vehicles within close proximity. There are also a range of public transportation options close by, such as bus stops for Route 65 via a five-minute walk north to Grand & Morgan, Route 8 via a five-minute walk northeast to Halsted & Hubbard, and Route 56 via a six-minute walk northeast to Milwaukee, Grand, & Halsted. The L is also accessible, with the Green, Pink, and Blue Lines all within a 10-minute walk.

Anyone else really bummed about all the murals that were lost in the process?
No
Yes. Especially for such an ugly bland boring solif color. No effort at all to make the space look aesthetic or pay tribute to all the artists that created beautiful works there.
Why? The building was coming down sooner or later for a development. At least here the building stays and is something cool.
Also no.
YIMBY’s don’t sweat murals. Nice adaptive reuse!
No one cares about the murals. Glad they are gone. Complete eye sore.
What is going on with this project? First they aimed for an opening day on St. Patrick’s Day 2023. Now all the press releases promise it’ll open in “summer 2023,” but it’s clearly not close to ready. I doubt it’ll be ready for St. Patrick’s Day 2024 at this rate.
