A demolition permit has been issued by the City of Chicago for the three-story multi-residence at 1150 West Diversey Parkway in Lake View. That’s also the former home of Lynn’s Hair & Spa, which appears to have moved around the corner onto Lincoln Avenue, according to a Facebook posting. The teardown will create a lot for a three-unit building on the site, to be developed by a local LLC. The demolition permit was issued August 29, naming Tir Conaill Concrete as the demo contractor. Real estate sites show the building was constructed in the 1880s; it sold in May of this year for $625,000.

A pending permit for 1150 West Diversey indicates a four-story building with a basement will be constructed next. That permit calls for a rooftop deck above the residences (one acknowledgment of a “first-floor duplex” would indicate these will be condos.) Another roof deck is mentioned atop the parking, but the permit specifies a “carport for three cars” rather than a garage. There will be no ground-level commercial space replacing the hair salon.

As of September 5, no demolition fencing had been installed around the doomed building. For now, no timeline for construction nor renderings of the new structure are available.
