Brickwork is in the spotlight for a new residential project at 1300 West Newport Avenue in the Southport Corridor of the city’s Lake View Community Area. Front, back, and east façades are all covered in masonry now, while unfinished corners on the west facing indicate that portion still needs to be bricked in. And while scaffolding and tarps shroud some of the structure, it appears most of the building’s windows have been installed.
