Various technical aspects regarding the structural and aesthetic reuse methods of salvaged brick within the interior and exterior of this new Tadao Ando-designed building in Lincoln Park, Chicago, are explored. This paper expands specifically upon the multiple possible origins of Chicago common brick, as well as the extant brick currently composing the surrounding alley which is integral to demarcating the southern site boundary of the old apartment building now gallery. Themes encompassing Chicago’s archeological and architectural history, local resource extraction, and labor practices permeate this paper’s investigation into urban, social and architectural history and building construction technology advancements through time.</p> <iframe src="https://publications.waset.org/10010022.pdf" style="width:100%; height:400px;" frameborder="0"></iframe> <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Masonry%20construction" title="Masonry construction">Masonry construction</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=history%20brickmaking" title=" history brickmaking"> history brickmaking</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=private%20museums" title=" private museums"> private museums</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Chicago%20Illinois" title=" Chicago Illinois"> Chicago Illinois</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Tadao%20Ando." title=" Tadao Ando.
