An emergency demolition is set to take place at 1857 W 51st Street in Back of the Yards. The City of Chicago has issued a permit for the immediate wrecking and removal of the mixed-use two-story masonry building on the site.

At this time, there are is no posted plan or timeline regarding what, if anything, will replace the existing structure at 1857 W 51st Street. The property borders Cornell Square Park in Back of the Yards, and is located steps from bus stops for Route 51, making a future development on the site potentially attractive to prospective future residents.
