Empty and lifeless for a generation, 816 North Walker has come back to life as the offices of STUDIOARCHITECTURE. Built in 1931 as a grocery store and pharmacy, the 6,590 square foot building has also been a medical and party equipment rental center, a hamburger stand, and a go-go dance club. After so many illustrious chapters, the building sat unused for 23 years as the surrounding neighborhood descended into blight and abandonment.
