Mosaic Construction LLC completed renovations at FEW Distillery, a craft distillery with global distribution based at 918 Chicago Avenue in Evanston, Illinois, also known as the birthplace of Prohibition.
Mosaic conducted a structural renovation to the 3,000-square-foot distillery, adding support to the barrel roof and bow trusses at the industrial-inspired whiskey production facility.
FEW, a grain-to-glass distillery, became the first maker of whiskey and gin in Evanston since the U.S. Congress ended Prohibition nearly 100 years ago. The company opened its doors in 2011 at a former automotive “chop shop” with its entrance hidden in an alley next to the Purple Line “L” train. Thirteen years later, FEW’s popular products are distributed to purveyors of high-quality spirits around the world.
The renovation led by Mosaic includes new steel columns, support beams, a concrete floor and electrical work. Moshe Calamaro and Associates (engineering), Battaglia Electric (electric), Twin Bros. Paving (concrete flooring) and GCS Roman Steel Work (steel) partnered with Mosaic on the project.
