Danhausen house demolished!
In other extremely depressing news, the home and studio of late Chicago artist Eldon Danhausen has been demolished. This was a home that he essentially crafted by hand. While executed in a currently out-of-vogue 1970s style, the building had incredible artistry throughout and gardens that were cherished by most of Old Town.
The community tried to save the building, and Vi Daley actually did institute a downzoning ordinance, but Chicago pols and residents need to wake up and realize that downzoning DOES NOT save buildings. Some developers are simply cruel.
