The foundation has been poured for a new addition next to the residential building at 3839 North Clark Street in Wrigleyville. A demolition permit was issued for a multi-unit structure next door at 3837 North Clark back in January. Demolition hadn’t begun as of a February 6 visit to the site, but another trip there on March 25 showed the home gone, and most of the new foundation excavated.
A demolition permit was issued Wednesday, April 23 for 3633 North Sheffield Avenue in Wrigleyville, the second of three buildings beyond the right-field wall of Wrigley Field to be torn down for redevelopment. 3631 and 3627 North Sheffield are also being razed, with only rubble remaining of 3631, the middle building of the three. A permit for the third razing has yet to be issued, while 3631 North Sheffield. the “Torco Building,” got one on February 25.
The first of three adjacent buildings to be razed for a new residential development just beyond the right field wall at Wrigley Field is nearing completion. The building at 3631 North Sheffield Avenue in Wrigleyville has been reduced to a tiny portion of the north façade and the front stairs to the entryway. To its left and right, two more buildings will soon meet the same fate, as all three come down for a residential development on the site.
The demolition permit issued by the City of Chicago for the residential building at 3729 North Clifton Avenue in Wrigleyville has been ignored. In a way. What we thought might have been a typo somewhere along the chain of command does indeed appear to have been a simple slip of a digit, and the home that was supposed to be taken down, at 3939 North Clifton, has now been demolished.
A demolition permit has been issued for the turn-of-the-century residential building at 3631 North Sheffield Avenue in Wrigleyville. It’s the first of three adjacent buildings to be razed for a new residential development just beyond the right field ivy at Wrigley Field, with 3627 to its south and 3633 North Sheffield to its north surely soon to follow.
