A Chicago magazine article from 5 years ago surfaced on FB discussing the blue White House replica in Chatham located at 8401 S. Michigan. The house had been for sale at prices approaching $1 million dollars.
I decided to find any photos on instagram for this house and found one from an instagrammer named marquisdefacade who took a more recent shot (3 weeks ago) of this residence that showed the doors boarded up. Then found information on this house and current status in which it was found that the house sold this month for $400,000.
So the people who helped to redevelop this house had to have taken a loss. It surely didn't take $400K just to rehab this home.
Either way glad to see that someone has bought the home now here's hoping they can give this unique residence the tender loving care that it deserves.
