Renovation and construction work are rapidly taking shape for Fulton Market’s new Guinness Taproom. Coordinated by developer Fred Latsko, the project is an adaptive re-use of the former Pennsylvania Railroad Terminal Building at 375 N Morgan Street. A former destination for street art, the converted beer hub will yield a 10-barrel brewery, a pub, and a restaurant with local chef cuisine.

Much of the original brick and interior structure has been retained, while the updated facade will consist of a chocolate-colored brickwork, warehouse-styled windows, and copper metal paneling. The interior will be lined with brick walls and beams, a chandelier, and a large glass wall system for visitors to gaze upon the craft at hand.

Great pun use in the headline Jack. The cladding at 900 W. Randolph is being erected and looks good.
No surprise it’s already tagged again. Had they incorporated the murals that were already on there this wouldn’t have happened. They were done by local artists that would have left them alone. I Hope they have lots of that black paint to spare because its probably going to get tagged every week.
