There’s a new effort to get historical landmark status for an industrial building in Chicago’s West Loop that once housed the Warehouse nightclub, where famed DJ and Producer Frankie Knuckles is widely credited with creating House music.
Joe Shanahan, the founder of several well-known clubs in Chicago including Smart Bar and Metro, believes he was among the first to sign the petition.Shanahan opened Smart Bar in 1982. Frankie Knuckles was the first DJ to perform there.
Among his many awards and accolades, Knuckles won a 1997 Grammy for Remixer of the Year, Non-Classical. He passed away in 2014. "This is a global music message that was established, birthed and built here in Chicago," said Shanahan."We can’t let these buildings be taken down and have another restaurant or hotel, another 10-story building built."
