Bandaged

Thanks to the shithead developers who originally fought against the effort to landmark this building (and lost): Chicago's former Lake Street Schlitz Tied House - later La Luce - was left unsecured for months and suffered extensive damage from vandals and thieves who tore away much of its architectural copper cladding. Only after the decay made the news was the graffiti buffed, and now-exposed wood subframe crudely covered in white plastic. Despite its protected status, it still remains vacant with an uncertain future.
