Cornerspotted: The New & Improved Union Stables

Yesterday we asked you to guess what this building is and where it's located.

It's the Union Stables, which was constructed in 1909 as an urban horse stable. Over the years it's been used as a parking garage, an auto body shop, and a furniture warehouse. $9.5M later, it was entirely renovated by contractor Lease Crutcher Lewis and architecture firm Weinstein A&U, both of whom are now included as the building's tenants. Gone are the horse stalls and in their place are bike storage and shower rooms. The original brick walls and timber structure remains and the original carriage door entries at the center of the main façade were retained.
