The Jefferson buildings themselves are crap, but this intersection has potential to be kind of interesting--older historic buildings mixed in with the modernism of the new CTA headquarters, plus some highrise condos and retail, all along the L tracks.
But it all gets ruined if too many of these historic buildings are lost. Does anybody know if there are efforts underway to protect these structures? |
