The Crown was John Eberson’s very first project in Chicago, with an opening date of September 5th, 1909, according to an article by architectural historian T. P. Luna.
If so, I think the 1934 image in the photos section is probably the Chicago Crown, as it has similarities to Emerson’s design for the Vic.
Should be listed as demolished as the current building is clearly different
@Broan.
Could you contact me at ? I think we conversed a few years ago about Polka Brothers, and I’m looking for information.
Thanks!
