HISTORY

the Jane’s Heritage

the Jane is completely consistent with the urban setting, blending today’s efficiencies with a period-specific design that  takes advantage of many of the features of the original building, which once served as an elevator factory, and features high-ceilings, expansive  windows offering abundant natural light, the original sky lights and deep bay depths, among other architectural features.

“the Jane is one of the best adaptive re-use projects I have seen,” said Rick Hudson, who serves as the Land Use and Zoning Chair for the Grant Park NPU.  “The architect, Alan Hoss, who lives in Grant Park, has done a great job in mixing historic preservation with adaptive re-use, so that the building retains some of its historic character and complements the design of other buildings in the area.”
