Christensen & Olsen Foundry Co. | 218 N Racine

Started digging into the history of this building, but all I can find for certain is a blurb from the Chicago Tribune (circa 1954) about a thief who was captured on the roof!! The name, Christensen & Olsen Foundry Co., is carved into (what appears to be) yellow plaster atop of old red Chicago brick 🤷‍♀️ Uhhh… TELL ME all your secrets!!!
