One of only a few buildings demolished in Bridgeport this year, this building was "priced to sell," which it did for $90,000 in October 2011, although it was relisted shortly thereafter. Nearly a year later, a permit for new construction was issued on November 9 to "Erect a new 2 story single family home with basement and 2 care detached garage per plans."

About the series

Over the course of 2012 David Schalliol produced a photographic portrait of 100 of the hundreds of buildings threatened with demolition in the city of Chicago. Nearly all of the buildings have since been demolished. Visit the background information section for more information about the project, including definitions and links to other building resources.

The series is supported by a generous grant from the Richard H. Driehaus Foundation.
