This brick building near Grand and Chicago avenues, awash with murals, is the headquarters of the aircraft parts company Setna iO. (Robert Herguth / Sun-Times)

You probably wouldn’t guess that the brick building near Grand and Chicago avenues on which all of the above are painted is the headquarters of the aircraft parts company Setna iO.
