Timeline Theatre selects architect to design its new Uptown home
Chicago’s TimeLine Theatre Company has selected architecture firm HGA to design its new home in an old Uptown building, the nonprofit organization revealed on Wednesday. The news comes six months after TimeLine purchased the abandoned five-story former warehouse at the corner of Broadway and Argyle from Cedar Street Companies for $2.7 million.
