As a demolition crew clears the site of last week's spectacular five-alarm McKinley Park warehouse fire, the South Side loses yet another building--and the city loses another top-flight example of its renowned architecture and urban planning.
The five-story warehouse at 3757 S. Ashland Ave.--images of it ablaze, then sheathed in ice last week were seen around the world--was built in 1919 as the Pullman Couch Company. It was once one of the key buildings in the nation's first industrial park: The Central Manufacturing District, a sprawling, privately planned, owned and developed campus of factories, warehouses and other buildings that stretched from Morgan St. to Western Ave. and from 35th St. to Pershing Rd.
The CMD sold off the buildings in the 1960s and many of its old structures have for years sat empty or underutilized. But the CMD buildings, with their brickwork, graceful proportions and nicely-rendered terra cotta detailing, represent a rather fine rank of industrial architecture and campus planning.
Here's what the once-handsome Pullman Couch building looked like when it opened, courtesy of the University of Minnesota's stellar archive of images from the American Terra Cotta Company. It should have taken something other than fire, ice and now demolition for these buildings to get our attention:
Here you can see the Pullman Couch Company insignia in the frozen-over terra cotta detail:
The Central Manufacturing District was a bustling concern from 1905 until the late 1960s. Big name companies such as retailer Spiegel, Goodyear, Starck Piano Co., the William Wrigley Co., Westinghouse and furniture makers, oil refiners and others located there, taking advantage of shared costs of services provided by the CMD--not to mention its prime location on rail lines and on the Chicago River's South Branch.
Its development predates General Electric's 90-acre Nela Park in East Cleveland, OH, which has long billed itself as the nation's first industrial park. Nela Park construction began in 1911, but the CMD's first buildings appeared in 1905.
The CMD had its own police force, fire department, powerhouse, telegraph office, executive club, freight rail station, banks-even architects who could design buildings for companies locating there.
But the age of the buildings and the midcentury city-to-suburban migration of workers and companies, spelled the end of the CMD and the buildings and land were sold-off individually.

Fire, ice and now demolition
An artist's impression of how the new Ferrymead Bridge will look - the bridge will be four lanes, with separate pedestrian and cycle lanes, and the work will involve improvements to the Bridal Path intersection lay-out.
Demolition is set to begin on the old Ferrymead bridge, and the publictoday has the chance to find out more about its $34 million replacement.
Workers have constructed two temporary bridges that will maintain the connection between Sumner and the city.
Vital services - traffic, water, sewerage, power and telecommunications - now run under thetemporary bridges and will be maintained throughout the demolition and construction process.
The next stage of theproject involves the demolition of the old bridge using a type of crane called a "nibbler".
Christchurch City Council city and environment general manager Jane Parfitt emphasised the strategic significance of the bridge. "It is a crucial structure connecting the city to the coastal suburbs in the southeast. Its construction is closely connected to the long-term prosperity of the city," she said.
"This is a strategic transportation corridor and shows that the rebuild is extending beyond the central city to the suburbs." Demolition of the old bridge was expected to take about three months. Piling work will then begin, which involves driving 10 piles, with a diameter ranging from 1.1to 2.4 metres, 25m into the riverbed.
Piling work is expected to take 15 months. Parfitt said it was a "huge construction project".
"We are building the Ferrymead bridge to the very highest engineering standards to ensure that the lifeline between the city and the Sumner, Redcliffs and Mt Pleasant suburbs is maintained,'' she said. "When you drive piles into the ground there's going to be noise and vibrations.
''Work on the Ferrymead bridge has been scheduled for a long time. The earthquakes have delayed this project and made us reconsider the seismic dangers in the area.
