Floor
Manager – Hawksmoor Chicago
Chicago is the historical powerhouse of American beef,
and when Hawksmoor found out about an actual powerhouse building, it felt like
fate. We set out eyes on Chicago and found ourselves a home to settle into.
The LaSalle Street Cable Car Powerhouse is a beautiful,
designated landmark, initially opened in 1887, in the heyday of Chicago’s cable
car system. We restored some original features to
