The Hollenbach Building was a building at 808 W. Lake Street in Chicago's Fulton Market District, which was designed by Worthmann & Steinbach and was built in 1912.[1][2] It was built at a cost of $12,000, and was owned by Charles Hollenbach, housing the Hollenbach Seed Company.[1][3][4] An addition was proposed in 1919, to be designed by Worthmann & Steinbach, but no permit was ever issued for its construction.[5] Hollenbach Seed Company left the building in 1958, moving to the northwest suburbs.[6]
Kathy Kozan purchased the building for $190,000 in 1994, after initially leasing it.[7] She was its third owner and renovated the building.[8] It served as home to Kozan Design Studios, a creator of custom art for trade shows, theaters, theme parks, and other clients until 2010.[9][10][11][7] It also contained an apartment where Kozan resided.[8][7] The building was filled with unique colorful sculptures during this period.[9]
In 2013, the building was sold to One Off Hospitality Group for $1.7 million.[7] The first floor would house One Off Hospitality Group's Publican Quality Bread.[7][12][13] In 2019, developer North Park Ventures announced its plans to demolish the Hollenbach Building and adjacent buildings and build a 19-story hotel and office building.[13][14] A demolition permit was issued on December 9, 2020, and the building was demolished in January 2021.[15]
