Adaptive Reuse in Chicago, IL at U-Haul Moving & Storage of South Loop
Building History
The McNulty Brothers Company was founded in 1888 by Thomas J. McNulty, and earned recognition during the Chicago World's Fair in 1893, when the company did the majority of the interior plasterwork for the exhibit. Thomas' son, J. Munroe McNulty followed in his father's footsteps and became president of the family business in the early-1960s. At this time, the company moved away from plaster to drywall. The company provided constractor services to the Oak Park, River Forest and Chicagoland area. Munroe also negotiated constructing the interiors of famous skyscrapers such as the Standard Oil and Hancock Buildings, Oakbrook Shopping Center and other iconic buildings that were on the cutting edge of interior design. In the 1980's the company had the opportunity to work on projects focused on historic restoration, overseeing projects such as the Miro sculpture that is displayed across from the Picasso at Daley Plaza.
The McNulty Brothers Company building at 500 W Cermak Rd. was built in 1990 and U-Haul acquired the building in 2013. Adaptive reuse building conversions allow U-Haul to promote infill development to meet citizens’ needs while preserving the natural resources and land normally required for new construction. Adaptive reuse also allows resources to be focused on integrating environmentally thoughtful features into the existing building rather than creating waste in the form of demolition and using valuable resources for new construction.
