A little about Erector Square:

Erector Square was first established as a toy factory in 1923 by A. C. Gilbert. The classic Erector Set, American Flyer model trains and other toys were produced here by Gilbert Toys until the factory’s closing in 1967. Erector Square was then repurposed into one of the largest studio complexes of its kind with over 175 studios in eight buildings. It is now home to a community of established and emerging artists, architects, musicians, designers, dance, theater and fitness professionals.
