Some fifth generation Turners stand in front of The Turner Manufacturing Company on Ogden and Keeler in Lawndale where four generations of Turners worked alongside 500+ employees creating picture frames, furniture, mirrors and art. Built in 1918 by August Turner with Chicago architect Alfred Alschuler on the historic Route 66, this classic red-brick factory is now threatened with demolition to turn it into a toxic truck depot. The Ogden-Keeler buildings symbolize the Chicago history of immigrants, the lumber industry, wood craftsmanship and fine art. Check out the pop-art silkscreen favorite, The Turner Flamingoes in mirrored Turner frames! Not only do these buildings represent immigrant labor and a Chicago success story, they also signal a positive future if the buildings are repurposed to best serve Lawndale with new opportunities.
