We're Moving!

After over a year as a home office start-up, Duck Duck Green has finally grown into its very own office space.  Our new home is an amazing turn of the century brick and timber loft/warehouse on the Chicago River.

The building used to be home to the Thomson & Taylor Spice Co.  Barges would come up the river, and unload coffee and spices directly into the T&T warehouse.  From what we could find, this area provided a lot of the spice and coffee for America back in the day, along with cloth, window blinds, and water-towers.  And the building across the street used to manufacture Model-T’s.  We got to ride in the freight elevator that the cars used to.  Really cool stuff (and big!)

The area is now an arts/creative industries zone, and we have some pretty cool neighbors we’re looking forward to knowing.

The building, the neighborhood, Chicago, we’re proud to be a part of a storied past.  We can’t wait for moving day!
