Building looks like an ancient mausoleum. That's not a compliment.

Frederick Law Olmsted had visionary insight when he construed Jackson Park as the canvas for Obama to put his Library in.

Full Height plus site for the Home Court being dug up and the midway being grated and prepared for proper drainage and another playground.

Now that the Obama Presidential Library looks to be a reality in years to come, what is going to be done to the Jackson Park branch of the L? If it were up to me, while there's already dedicated funding for the Red Line extension to 130th St via the Union Pacific ROW in the Far South Side, I'd hope that the city fo Chicago and IL could go for another set of funding just to restore the elevated ROW, as well as building new stations at University, Dorchester, and Jackson Park/Stony Island, the original stations that was erected with the Jackson Park Branch along with King Dr and Cottage Grove.

Although I'm upset it was allowed to be torn down, it should be rebuilt and extended down into Southshore. I wouldn't mind seeing a transition into underground at the vacant lots on 63rd street but then expenses increase substantially. Regardless it could spur increased zoning and the associated benefits.
