CAREY MULLIGAN as Daisy Buchanan in Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Village Roadshow Pictures’ drama “THE GREAT GATSBY,” a Warner Bros. Pictures release.
Two Rottweilers were taken from the scene some five hours after the fire broke out.
A multi-alarm fire severely damaged the former Mulligan Elementary School at 1855 N. Sheffield Ave. early today. The school, which has been closed since the early 2000s and was being converted to 24 apartments, was completed in 1889. CTA service, which runs on tracks directly east of the building, was disrupted due to heavy ice on the tracks. The temperature was hovering near 0 when the photo was taken.

Empty. Well, almost empty except for two silver gulls and a handful of welcome swallows. This is about as many lifeforms as were here when there was next to no water. I normally wouldn't make the trip here because stuff shuts down here in winter when the sun dips low behind the ridge that shades this reserve.
Reflecting, this void met my expectations for a visit to Mulligan's Flat on an overcast winter's day. We could debate whether that was low cloud or high fog. It's moot; dull and 5°C isn't inspirational.
Looking around the reserve further if I was the type to make lists, and I'm not, I'd enumerate eastern and crimson rosellas, mobs and mobs of Australian magpies, those bandit masked noisy miners, magpie-larks popularly called the pee wee, white-winged choughs, Australian ravens, a grey butcherbird, laughing kookaburras, superb parrots, an echidna wearing blue nail polish amusing some little girls, red-necked wallabies, the perennially charismatic grey fantail, the white-throated tree-creeper, yellow thornbills and jacky winter. On balance, this is more than the weather anticipated.
But I don't make lists. Instead I'm reflecting that despite there being very little action compared to a Summer's day, the chill winter air in the great outdoors was still a good place.

The Great Gatsby breaking international box office records; Premiere in Sydney, Australia tonight - 22nd May 2013...
Baz Luhrmann's 'The Great Gatsby' is packing big numbers at the box office internationally and is tipped to also break records down under in Australia.
The flick is making its Sydney, Australia premiere at Entertainment Quarter - Fox Studios Australia tonight...rain, hail or shine... and its looking like rain at this stage with a few short hours to go until the stars hit the red carpet.
Luhrmann has been receiving a mixed bag of reviews from the news media, as is often the case. Who cares that much if the public keep flocking to see the film.
Baz off the plane from Cannes to be greeted by the news that his $180 million adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's literary classic was at the top of the international box office, 10 days before its Australian release on May 30.
The Great Gatsby snatched $42 million in its opening weekend across 49 territories, including the UK, Russia, and France, just besting Iron Man 3 ($40.2 million) and Star Trek: Into Darkness ($40 million).
"It's good to see there's another superhero in town," said Luhrmann ahead of Wednesday's star-studded Sydney premiere to be attended by stars Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan, Joel Edgerton and Elizabeth Debicki.
"This one wears a tuxedo and has a glass of champagne, but he's not James Bond."
Returning to the city in which the film was shot, Luhrmann was aware that he had just pulled off the biggest gamble of his 22-year career.
"We’ve got a bona fide literary blockbuster on our hands," he said today.
"When does that happen?
Baz Luhrmann brings the big screen adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, The Great Gatsby, to life in a way that has never been seen before.
"It ain't over till it's over, but the numbers are way above expectations."
Gatsby has already snatched $90 million in the US - significantly more than Academy Award nominee Moulin Rouge! ($57 million), Australia ($51 million) or Romeo + Juliet ($46 million) - and industry observers are predicting the total box office will reach $140 million.
Before Gatsby opened, industry observers were questioning the wisdom of Warner Bros' decision to go up against the major tentpole releases of the US summer.
"It was an extraordinarily big gamble," Luhrmann acknowledges.
But that was before DiCaprio's Gatsby surprised Robert Downey Jr's Marvel superhero by beating him to the No 1 spot in the US - albeit for just one day.
Far from gloating about Gatsby's roaring success, Luhrmann's initial response is one of relief- for "the crew, the cast, this city, this state, this country and the financier (Warner Bros) that took a crazy risk - no one funds adult drama. They must feel they weren't totally crazy to back this horse."
Luhrmann's love of glittering excess, so derided by the critics, has taken the spectacle-driven superhero movies on at their own game. The film's success has also silenced the doubters who until now saw 3D as the domain of action adventures and sci-fi fantasies.
Stay tuned as we bring you breaking news and photographs from tonight's red carpet premiere in Sydney.
