Deconstruction update: Chicago Ave demolition

Demolition of CHA mid-rise at 412 W Chicago Ave, Cabrini-Green, Chicago

We may never know if the condo owners from the 19-unit condo building at 825 N Hudson St were behind it, but one thing is certain: The Chicago Housing Authority-owned mid-rise at 412 W Chicago Ave in Cabrini-Green is coming down. Much of the demolition was done earlier in the week, but when I walked up to the Chicago and Hudson around lunchtime today, the wrecking ball was resting in the shade and workers were sifting through the wreckage.

In March, a spokesperson for the CHA told the Chi-Town Daily News that the mid-rise was being demolished because of safety concerns.
