S.Michigan Ave. is a very long road i walked towards Chess,i passed another record building which was Vee-Jay and Brunswick Records with this music in this area it became none as "Record Row"


Arriving at Chess i went to reception and offices of the Chess Bros. and into the recording studios,they then showed me a hole in the floor which the mic would go down for echo effects,great tour with Willie Dixons grandson, the premises are owned by a charity called "Willie Dixons Blues Heaven Foundation"


Chess Records moved to a larger building where everything was in house that address is 320 E.21st Street it has now been made into apartments called "Chess Lofts"
