You are Right. I was there Today taking Pictures. I too heard that if the Building can’t be saved the Facade will be Saved!.
I hope this Building Passes City Insp. I would hate to see this Biulding go.
The Owner was there as well. Also, The Tenants will be allowed back in some Stores along Spaulding Ave. I will post Pic.s in a Few days..
I have Some Sad News!.
The Metro is being Demolished, National Wrecking Co. has Started today-
Monday.16,Oct. 2006.
It is so sad to see this Lovely Building Go!.
There has been Problems with the Building’s Owner and the City, But the Building has lost it’s battle in the End!.
Anyway, I will take some Pic.s if I can and Post.
I have some bad news, as of Wed.27,Sept.2006 The auditorium section of this Building Collaped, due to gas!. What will happen to this building is unknown?. I'de like to know if there are Any Pictures of this Building and it’s Auditorium when opened around 1915 or before it closed in 1953?.
Thank you very much, Jerry L Saunders, Jr. Elgin,IL.
