Destruction of The North Shore School

It's a damn shame to see such a beautiful building go down.



How would you feel, if you were a teacher that taught here and to see your classroom like this?


Or a student that went here to see this.....





Now lets take a look inside......

They even had a bowling alley in the basement!

They say that the North Shore School at the end of Chase Avenue is the next Rogers Park demolition tragedy. The North Shore School is in the Rogers Park History books, and is a beautiful classic building that has contributed a lot to the community for almost 100 years. It is still in excellent condition as well. It seems they always tear down the significant ones in Rogers Park. Read more here.

Petitions and phone questions unanswered by Alderman Joe Moore on North Shore School demolition

From a readers email:

In the last 24 hours, a construction fence was erected around the North Shore School building, 1217 W. Chase Avenue. Calls to Alderman Joe Moore's office asking whether a demolition permit has been issued have gone unanswered.

Attached is a petition circulated last fall and presented to the alderman's office, asking that the building be preserved. At the time, the alderman's office indicated a school was interested in locating there. Apparently that fell through.

We will raise this issue at tomorrow's (March 8) meeting (VISIONING SESSION: North Lakefront Devon to Juneway) at Loyola Park, 1230 W. Greenleaf, sponsored by Friends of the Parks.

Such an important historic building should not be demolished! Please come Saturday and express your opinion.
