The Dawson Brothers Plant is a historic factory building located at 517-519 N. Halsted Street in the West Town community area of Chicago, Illinois. The factory was built in 1888 and designed by Julius Zittel; the five-story brick building has a cast iron front on its first floor and lacks ornamentation. The Dawson Brothers used the factory to produce fireplace mantels and grates; the building also served as the company's showroom and offices. A six-story addition was added to the building in 1901; this addition mainly served as a storage and shipping area. The Dawson Brothers conducted business at the factory until the 1920s.[2] The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 14, 1985.[1]
