An old home was torn down here recently.
(Demolition photos follow this image.)
Hidden inside the nondescript building was an old post and beam structure.
Over the years the age and beauty of the original frame of the structure was hidden by numerous home 'improvements' done with assorted modern materials.
When I saw the old beams exposed during demolition, I wished they could have been salvaged. Given the outward appearance of the house I doubt anyone would have ever thought hidden treasure was living there.

This building was been added to the City of Chicago's Demolition Delay List on 6/29/2015. On 7/8, this building was released from the Demolition Delay List and a demolition permit was subsequently issued.
After the Salerno Cookie Company left, this building later housed the Graphic Converting Inc. and Classic Finishing Company.

After demolition
Due to poor construction and toxic materials, the old building still had to be demolished after the fire. An interesting corner (I think :) is what remains.
A Royal Taylor demolition excavator works overnight in downtown Chicago, dismantling the remains of a mid-century parking structure near North Wabash Avenue. The location, part of an area undergoing major redevelopment, reflects the city’s continual cycle of teardown and renewal. Once a dense cluster of low-rise commercial and industrial buildings, this district is being transformed by modern high-rise towers and mixed-use developments that are reshaping the skyline and urban streetscape of central Chicago.
The old Silver Cross Hospital was a fun place to explore when it was abandoned. The power was still on and the decay lead to rain falling in. This day it was storming and raining hard outside and it added to this creepy hospital

I've been a bit choked up with the cold today and so, by 1030, I was tucked up in bed, having just gulped down the last of my mug of Lemsip and on the final page of a chapter of Bernard Maclaverty's Lamb, when the phone rang.
"Tommy" said my flatmate, "you have to come into town and take some photo's of this!"
"What is it?"
"They're demolishing a building, it's all lit up, it's the most amazing sight. It's just by the cinema."
I jumped out of bed, threw on some clothes and called Kev, thinking I'd stop by his in the taxi to pick him up.
"Kev, do you have an early start tomorrow?"
"I have to take the car back at 930."
"The car?! Come over! Now!"
When we arrived, it was fairly quiet, and we reckoned they'd stopped for the night. It was an impressive sight, but I wondered whether it was worth sacrificing my early night for. I took a few photographs and then asked one of the men when I should come back to see some of it being brought down: "when the machine's fixed: ten minutes, half an hour." The sight of the Dem-Master in action changed everything: utterly spectacular. It's "neck" is painted with the patterns of a giraffe, but it resembled a dinosaur chewing on the brickwork and tearing away chunks of concrete. I was in awe, and I think my childlike excitement and wide smile endeared me to the workers, who didn't mind my hanging around rather close by for what turned out to be a couple of hours(!)
