The foundation has been excavated for a residential development coming to 455 North Carpenter Street in the West Town neighborhood. Replacing the former home of Allied Valve Industries, which was torn down this fall, the new building from Range Group will bring 72 dwelling units across a five-story structure. With the foundation now in place, you can clearly see the L-shaped building’s footprint.

Lincoln Park Hospital closed in 2008, and was permitted for demolition on June 6, 2012.
