BUILDING HISTORY: The former home to the M. Schulz Co., a premier piano manufacturing company that was founded in 1869, who set up shop at 711 Milwaukee in the 1890s. Established in the great piano hub of Chicago, M. Schulz & Co. manufactured grand and upright pianos, as well as reproducing and player pianos - all of which had a reputation as first-class instruments. Known for their highly accurate, almost perfect scale, M. Schulz pianos were crafted from quality materials and built with great care. The original Schulz building engraving still adorns the renovated building today.
