We Love Authentic Lofts: 1019 W. Jackson in the West Loop
The Singer Lofts at 1019 W. Jackson was in that group of West Loop loft buildings converted in the 1990s so some of the authentic features were maintained.
This duplex penthouse unit has 17-foot ceilings and two private decks.
Ken Jungwirth at Rubloff has the listing. See more pictures, the virtual tour and the floorplan here.

28×16 MB and 16×16 DR/LR?! This place would be decent if the layout were the other way around. I can’t host dinner parties in my Master Bedroom. Other than that, I think it’s a pretty nice place.
Nice place, if you enjoy hiking up Chichen Itza to get to your bedroom 🙂 Wow that’s a huge spiral staircase!
Is this Inscamco conversion?
Are you referring to Loftminium World? (the American Invsco conversion of a bunch of loft buildings in the West Loop and one on Wabash in the South Loop around 2000?)
If so- then the answer is no- this building was NOT a part of that conversion.
Me likey… A lot. Wonder what it’ll go for?
And on this wall, we have our kitchen. Looks like they have some banging stereo equipment though.
I drink too much to live with a staircase like that.
How do you get furniture up the staircase?
You take furniture through the balcony door.
This building used to be the Singer sewing machine factory. It is solid concrete and the top floor units had a hole punched through the roof to create the duplex-up.
I have some knowledge of this building and know that many of the units have leaks in the roof, most likely as a result of cutting through the original roof to build the duplex.
Well, the disclosure on this unit says nothing about a leaking roof and of course a seller would never lie. If, however, it later turned out that the roof did leak and such a leak was common knowledge then the seller would be liable.

Can’t get blood from a turnip, Gary.
