Since its founding as The Image Factory in 1974, Mayer Jeffers Gillespie Architects has been in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood. In the beginning, our work was primarily remodeling Victorian-era buildings around our office for urban pioneers. As time passed, our jobs became more extensive in scope and included loft buildings, condominium and townhouse developments, and commercial projects. We have worked on several historically significant buildings and obtained the official “Certificate of Rehabilitation” to claim tax benefits.
