Located in the Garfield Park neighborhood on the West Side of Chicago, Switching Stations Artist Lofts showcases 24 units of affordable live/work space for creatives and their families. Originally built as a telephone switching station, the redevelopment of the then-Roentgen School wraps entirely around its courtyard, which serves residents as a private gathering place and a safe play area for children.
