We 
previously talked about an abandoned building at 8212 S. Calumet.Here are some photos of an abandoned home at 74th & Indiana (Northeast corner).
They include:
- View from Indiana
- View from Michigan
- View of the Basement
- View of the Garage (which has no roof)
This property at 74th & Michigan is in far worse shape than Calumet. Not only has it been stripped of walls, pipes, etc....it also seems to be missing floors. You can see sunlight from the roof from the basement.The building has been completely gutted, and the structure as a whole is falling apart. From the basement you can see sunlight due to a hole in the roof.
From what I have seen, it just seems like a waste to even try toput it back together again (i.e. the amount of work needed to fix it). It's such a waste.
I don't want to give the impression that Chatham has become Englewood or Roseland...rather, point out a couple of issues that could be good opportunities. Gut rehabs with the gutting already done.
Anyone have any photos or other info on this house from better days?
That looks like a very nice house. If we could find someone to take an interest in it and eventually give it some attention that it will need.
ReplyDeleteThis was a beautiful home and can be again. There is interest in the property but the last information I received was this property and the mansion at 84th michigan were tied up in an estate battle. That has been a couple of years so I do not know if it has been settled at this point.
ReplyDeleteDo you know the exact address for either properties. I may be able to get some info.
ReplyDeleteThey are still in an estate battle
