3100 S. Kedzie (Building “D”)

Permit #100280220

Date received: 3/5/09

Address:

Ward: 22

Applicant: DMD Services, Inc.

Owner: Chicago Public Schools

Permit Description: Demolition and removal of four-story brick building “D” [damaged from fire]

Status: Under review

 

The old Washburne Trade School has been torn down bit by bit over several years. A permit request to demo the remaining structures was recently filed after a 4 alarm fire flared up inside one of the abandoned buildings. The remaining structure seems to be in good shape and the building could very likely be converted but at this point in time it is hard to see who would want to take on that type of project in the current economic environment.

 

Washburne's last days are quickly approaching.
