Kogen-Miller Studios (1928)
1734 N. Wells St.
Chicago, IL
Architects: Edgar Miller and Sol Kogen
While working on their Burton Place/Carl Street collaborations, artists Sol Kogen and Edgar Miller also transformed another older site to fit their artist studio idea. They remodeled an 1880s apartment building and two-story stable into duplex studios surrounding an open courtyard. A new front was built in 1928 along with a top addition in 1932. Their artwork includes carved doors and windows, stained glass, decorative plaques and ceramic tiles. To save money, materials were scavenged from construction/demolition sites, failing businesses or purchased from Maxwell Street junk dealers.
