The ten story Fine Arts Building, also known as the Studebaker Building, is located on Michigan Avenue across from Grant Park in Chicago in the Chicago Landmark Historic Michigan Boulevard District. It was built for the Studebaker company in 1885 by Solon Spencer Beman, and extensively remodeled in 1898. The interior features gorgeous Art Nouveau motifs and murals dating from the 1898 renovation. True to its name, it houses artist's lofts, art galleries, theatre, dance and recording studios, interior design firms, musical instrument makers, and other businesses associated with the arts. It also holds offices of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Jazz Institute of Chicago, the Grant Park Conservancy, the World Federalist Association, the Chicago Youth Symphony and the venerable Artist's Cafe, known to generations of late-night diners.
