Sheridan Trust and Savings Bank Building explained

The Sheridan Trust and Savings Bank Building, currently known as the Teller House, is a 12-story terra cotta building at 4753 North Broadway in Uptown, Chicago.[1] [2] The first eight floors of the structure were built in 1924 by Marshall and Fox. Huszagh and Hill added a four-story addition in 1928.[3] The City of Chicago granted the structure Chicago Landmark status on October 8, 2008.[4]

The building's original tenant, the Sheridan Trust and Savings Bank, failed in 1931. Uptown National Bank began using the building in 1937.[5] The bank and the building were acquired by Bridgeview Bank in 2003.[6]

In 2019, the building was bought by the real estate developer Cedar St., with plans to convert most of the building into residential units.[7] The building reopened in 2023 as a mixed-use apartment and office complex branded The Teller House.[8] Tenants include WeWork and Old National Bank.[9] [10]

Historically, Teller House was home to a number of non-profit organizations and social service agencies serving low-income, immigrant, and refugee communities in the Uptown area.

In popular culture

In an episode of the television series M*A*S*H in March 1977 ("Post-Op", season 5, episode 24), a patient from Chicago tells Col. Sherman T. Potter that this bank exists at the southeast corner of Broadway and Lawrence after Potter mistakenly believes a tavern stood on the site.

The interior of the building was used in the 2009 film Public Enemies.[11]
