Hollenbach Building


The Hollenbach Building is a building at 808 W. Lake Street in Chicago's Fulton Market District, which was designed by Worthmann & Steinbach and was built in 1912. It was built at a cost of $12,000, and was owned by Charles Hollenbach, housing the Hollenbach Seed Company. An addition was proposed in 1919, to be designed by Worthmann & Steinbach, but no permit was ever issued for its construction. Hollenbach Seed Company left the building in 1958, moving to the northwest suburbs.
Kathy Kozan purchased the building for $190,000 in 1994, after initially leasing it. She was its third owner and renovated the building. It served as home to Kozan Design Studios, a creator of custom art for trade shows, theaters, theme parks, and other clients until 2010. It also contained an apartment where Kozan resided. The building was filled with unique colorful sculptures during this period.
In 2013, the building was sold to One Off Hospitality Group for $1.7 million. The first floor currently houses One Off Hospitality Group's Publican Quality Bread. Developer North Park Ventures plans to demolish the Hollenbach Building and adjacent buildings and build a 19-story hotel and office building.
