Magic Chef Bldg. -- exterior view


Exterior view as published.

This is an image of Harris Armstrong's award winning design for the Magic Chef Building for the American Stove Company. The building is today largely unreconizable as a U-Haul storage facility.

The original black and white photograph was 'colorized' for publication in The Architectural Forum magazine.

    Interesting building and your thoughts on it. I came to it via an ad in Architectural Forum for American Stove (actualy Thermopane windows) and am interested that Noguchi had been involved (not known to me). I need to look at the Noguchi bio but wonder at the connection with SOM. Nat Owings had a shrewd eye and this is just the kind of thing he would have picked out. Anyhow. Thank you.
