@moosh_mooks: It’s like the house in Up sorta. Sometimes these end up being facades for utilities or something. Any Chicago locals or riverwalk nerds have an answer?
My understanding, from reading earlier comments, is that it’s a bridge house

This the the Grand Street North Branch Bridge house. Chicago’s river systems sparked the birth of the city and fueled the growth of Chicago, making it a vital economic and industrial artery. Movable bridges were once a critical aspect of the Chicago River’s utility, allowing larger ships to pass underneath the many crossings. Since the 1850s, bridge operators, otherwise known as “tenders” were responsible for lifting the bridges to ensure safe passage for boats, trains, automobiles, and pedestrians. Bridge tenders were like lighthouse keepers, continuously monitoring the riverways as ships required passage at any time day or night.

There are tons of them in different styles. They’re bridge houses. You can learn about them on the River architecture tours
