This location , created by Ralph and William Steinbarth, formerly of Adelita foods, was named and designed in memorial to the original , historic South Water Market located between Morgan st. and Racine at 14th st. and 14th place here in Chicago. The old Market was home to 56 unique food and beverage wholesalers , supplying for decades the greater Midwest region with fresh produce , groceries, bulk grains , meats seafood, Some notable brands were produced right there including best kosher sara lee. Employing over 10,000 people collectively. The owners and families were forced by mayor Richard Daly in 2004/5 for only 18,000 dollars per unit. Not a drop in the bucket compared to the replacement and re- location costs. The building were to become a gift to richard daly's developer parntners and be stripped and redressed to become University Village and sold on average per unit of 2.1 million dollars, 18,000 thousand into 2.1 x 158 units, forcing owners to sell or face eminent domain. So the Steinbarth brothers created a monument that serves as a working replica of the original market and is home to business's that would have otherwise disappeared , only 6 business's are in this new south water market, that's the capacity.
