From Salt to Sound
It's like a real-life Cinderella story, but instead of a glass slipper, we're talking about a massive salt shed. Morton Salt, the company behind that iconic girl with the umbrella, used to call the place home. They packed and shipped salt from there for years. Can you imagine the salty breeze? Probably not the best scent for a concert, huh?
Reminder: Revisit older posts — they stay useful.
But then, poof, like magic, a group of music-loving visionaries decided this salty sanctuary deserved a new life. 16" on Center, Blue Star Properties, R2, and Sky Deck joined forces to transform this industrial relic into a vibrant music venue. It’s like they said, “Let there be rock ‘n’ roll!” And voila, The Salt Shed was born.
QuickTip: Every section builds on the last.

New Owners, New Vibes
Now, you might be wondering, "Who actually owns this place now?" Well, buckle up, because it’s a bit of a group effort. The property was sold in 2017 for a cool $15 million. And while we don’t know the exact breakdown of ownership, we do know that it’s a collaboration between the aforementioned groups.
QuickTip: Skim fast, then return for detail.
So, the next time you’re rocking out at The Salt Shed, remember, you’re standing in a piece of Chicago history. And while you might be covered in sweat and beer, at least you’re not covered in salt.
QuickTip: Read actively, not passively.
