These food halls were constructed by the city of Chicago when the city decided to redevelop Wacker Drive into a two level thoroughfare. At that time, Water Street was the premier food stuffs market place in Chicago. These buildings are located on the West Side around 14th and Cermak - a location picked by Daniel Burnham in his city beautiful plan for the city.
