The Yale Building. Englewood Chicago. Built in 1892 as lodging for the Columbian exposition. The south side used to be dotted with these ‘high rise’ late 1800’s hotels. Though this is one of the last still standing tall. Romanesque Revival.

“720 N. Wells was built in 1867, before the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, but is green rated on the Chicago Historic Resources Survey with NO protections from demolition.” A historic four story building demolished for a new... four story building?!?
